It begins on October 25 in the Valencian Community

Flu and Covid Vaccines
EP.

The health centers of the Valencian Community will begin to vcradle against the flu starting Monday, October 25 but only to over 70 years. This has been decided by the Ministry of Health that has already communicated to those responsible for Primary Care how this atypical vaccination campaign will be organized. In this way, about 700,000 Valencians over 70 years of age will begin to be called next week to receive, in the same appointment, the flu vaccine and the third dose of the covid-19 vaccine, following the agreement taken in the Interterritorial Council. The department will take advantage of the citation system developed for the coronavirus vaccine to speed up appointments in this first phase of the influenza campaign.

Third dose and flu shot

The two punctures will be put at the same moment although, following the recommendations of the experts, in different anatomical sites, so that each of the vaccines can be punctured in an arm, for example.

The rest of the population to be vaccinated against the flu will have to wait until mid-November to do so, according to the instructions sent by the administration to which this newspaper has had access. The goal, as was raised last year, is to increase flu vaccination coverage in people over 65, pregnant women, people at risk and health personnel.
