Counselor Pedreño assures that “it is an important initiative” that is carried out for the first time in the Region
The Minister of Health, Juan José Pedreño, announced this Friday in Lorca that children aged between six months and five years will begin to be vaccinated against the flu on November 2.
According to Pedreño, “it is an important initiative” that is being carried out for the first time “because it has been shown through scientific and expert reports” that children in that age group “have their immunity deficient and are an important focus of disease transmission.
He recalled that the simultaneous vaccination against the flu and the booster dose against the coronavirus began on Monday in nursing homes and centers for people with disabilities and that the forecasts are that “in seven or eight days all users can be vaccinated” .
On October 6, the campaign will begin in health centers for the inoculation of both vaccines aimed at people over 60 years of age and people at risk.
