Flu vaccination starts in Castilla-La Mancha: priority for those over 60 and simultaneously with the third anti-COVID dose
This November 2 The flu vaccination campaign for the autumn-winter season 2021-2022 officially starts in Castilla-La Mancha. This year, the spectrum of priorities is broadened and it is aimed at those aged 60 years or over, along with the rest of the risk groups. In addition, it is the intention of the Ministry of Health to carry out ana active recruitment that, in turn, those over 65 come to get the third dose of "souvenir" against COVID and the flu at the same time. This recruitment system would also include the most vulnerable groups of people: health workers, pregnant women or immunosuppressed people.
At the moment, and according to the instructions of the General Directorate of Public Health to which elDiarioclm.es has had access, for the autumn-winter season, due to the "synergistic" effect observed between the influenza virus and the COVID virus -19, which doubles the risk of death in the event of coinfection, it is necessary to "intensify activities aimed at increasing vaccination coverage against influenza." In this case, it especially includes health and social health personnel, people aged 60 years or over and of any age with risk conditions.
