From October 25, 2023, doctors are to receive anti-Covid vaccine doses to carry out a “recommended booster vaccination for people over 60 years of age”.

The first 37,480 doses of the Covid vaccine have already been delivered to the Veneto region, with more expected next week. According to regional experts, these first doses should be used primarily for people and companies in old people’s and nursing homes in order to ensure the best possible protection in this particularly vulnerable environment. Depending on the organization of the individual health authorities (Ulss), the vaccination will probably begin in the coming days.

Who should get vaccinated?

From October 25th, various quantities of vaccine doses will be delivered, allowing regional health authorities to distribute them to general practitioners and pharmacies upon request. The management of the prevention sector at Azienda Zero recommends carrying out a booster vaccination for all people over 60 years of age, as well as for people aged 6 months and over with certain diseases or conditions that increase the risk of serious infection.

How safe is a simultaneous corona and flu vaccination?

According to the experts, it is safe to give the Covid vaccine and the flu vaccine at the same time. This ensures immediate protection against both viruses. Even people who have never been vaccinated before only need a single dose for sufficient protection.
