In France, according to pharmacists, the figures are falling. For the flu vaccine, 600,000 fewer doses were issued compared to last year. In the Pyrénées-Orientales, the pharmacists’ union estimates that almost a quarter of people at risk did not receive their booster dose this winter. “This is potentially problematic with the epidemic which is starting to circulate at the moment”reacted this Monday morning on France Bleu Roussillon the head of the infectious diseases department at the Perpignan hospital, Hugues Aumaitre.
“There may be a little fatigue regarding vaccinationhe continues. But it is entirely relevant to get vaccinated once morest Covid and the flu. You can do both at the same time.” For people deemed to be at risk (those over 65, immunocompromised people, chronically ill people, pregnant women, etc.), influenza vaccination must be carried out every year. As for Covid, it must be done six months following the previous injection or following contracting the virus.
“People need to wear masks”
Associated with vaccination, the mask must be invited to the Christmas Eve table. In any case, this is Hugues Aumaitre’s recommendation. “It is necessary that people who are sick or have symptoms have the reflex to put on the mask.”
