– What specific outreach efforts are being undertaken to encourage vaccination among the remaining unvaccinated population in Andalusia?
**Host:** Welcome back to the show. Joining us today is Dr. Maria Garcia, a leading epidemiologist here in Andalusia. Dr. Garcia, Andalusia has just reached a major milestone in its flu vaccination campaign, surpassing 1.5 million vaccinations. Can you tell us more about this achievement?
**Dr. Garcia:** Absolutely. We’re thrilled to have reached this point so early in the campaign. It’s a testament to the hard work of our healthcare professionals and the commitment of our citizens to protecting themselves and their communities from the flu.
**Host:** That’s great news! The campaign seems to be prioritizing young children and seniors. Can you tell us about the coverage rates in those age groups?
**Dr. Garcia:** Yes. We’ve seen very good uptake among children aged six months to five years, with over 54% already vaccinated. School-based vaccination programs have been especially successful in reaching children aged three and four, with coverage rates exceeding 62%. For those over 60, we’re also seeing good progress, with almost half of that population already vaccinated.
**Host:** These are impressive numbers. What are your thoughts on reaching even higher vaccination rates?
**Dr. Garcia:** We’re certainly aiming to vaccinate as many people as possible. The flu can be a serious illness, particularly for vulnerable populations, so widespread vaccination is crucial for protecting public health.
**Host:** Do you have any final thoughts for our viewers?
**Dr. Garcia:** Yes, if you’re eligible for the flu vaccine and haven’t received it yet, please consider getting vaccinated. It’s a simple and effective way to stay healthy this flu season.
