Who should get vaccinated?
The flu vaccination is particularly recommended for numerous risk groups, including:

Only around 38% of people over 60 were vaccinated last season, while the World Health Organization is aiming for a target vaccination rate of 75%.
Vaccination strategy and materials
Dr. Sibylle Steiner, a board member of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV), points out that vaccinations can save lives, especially for people at risk. The KBV promotes the availability of information materials about flu vaccination, including posters and videos, to make citizens aware of the urgency. Furthermore, simultaneous vaccination against influenza and COVID-19 was recommended if the indication allows it.
Getting the flu shot is a simple and effective way to protect yourself and others. The upcoming vaccination campaigns are a golden opportunity to secure the protection you need - because health comes first! Don't hesitate to protect yourself and your loved ones. The vaccines that will be used in the coming season will also be complemented by new high-dose and adjuvanted variants designed to produce an improved immune response.
