IMPORTANT:

People with risk factors will NOT require a medical prescription as an exclusionary requirement for vaccination. Instead, they will be asked to present any documentation that certifies the existence of pre-existing illnesses.
Vaccination is completely free, since the application and disposable material are covered.
Flu vaccines can be applied together with others, including COVID-19.
Although there are NO medical contraindications to administer vaccines in patients with COVID-19, it is recommended to postpone immunization until clinical and epidemiological discharge, in order to avoid viral transmission and spread of the disease.
The importance of influenza vaccination for the population at risk is recalled, since this preventive action reduces complications, hospitalizations, deaths and sequelae caused by influenza virus infection.
