Flu vaccination begins in Castile-La Mancha: priority for the over-60s and simultaneous with the third anti-COVID dose
On November 2, the flu vaccination campaign for the 2021-2022 autumn-winter season officially kicks off in Castilla-La Mancha. This year, the spectrum of priorities is expanded and is aimed at those aged 60 years or older, along with the rest of the risk groups. In addition, it is the intention of the Regional Ministry of Health to actively recruit those over 65 years of age to take the third “booster” dose of COVID and influenza at the same time. This recruitment system would also include more vulnerable groups of people: health workers, pregnant women and immunocompromised people.
For the moment, and according to the instruction of the Directorate General of Public Health to which has had access elDiarioclm.es, for the autumn-winter season, due to the “synergistic” effect observed between the influenza virus and the COVID-19, which doubles the risk of death in case of coinfection, it is necessary to “intensify activities aimed at increasing vaccination coverage against influenza”. In this case it includes especially health and social-health personnel, people aged 60 years or older and people of any age with risk conditions.
