Amid active circulation of coronavirus, EU governments urge citizens to get vaccinated against seasonal flu. In France, where the vaccination campaign has already begun, there is an increased demand for the drug. But not everything is so simple. First of all, risk groups are vaccinated: these include health workers, pregnant women, people suffering from certain chronic diseases, people over 65 years old, says Euronews.
If you are not at risk, you will have to wait until the end of November and early December.
This fall, according to the pharmacist Rita Moro, there will be a lot of people who want to be vaccinated: “Last year in our pharmacy we vaccinated a total of 92 people. And today, just this morning, there are already ten clients.

The German authorities, in addition to the existing ones, decided to purchase another six million doses of influenza vaccine. The goal is to vaccinate as many people as possible, reduce the risk of simultaneous COVID-19 and influenza outbreaks, and reduce the burden on the healthcare system.
The head of the Ministry of Health of the Federal Republic of Germany called on the Germans to protect themselves and others, as well as hospitals from the influx of patients. In the vaccination diary of Shpan himself, an entry about the flu shot has already appeared.
