The flu vaccination should be applied ideally before the beginning of winter, the period of greatest circulation of the influenza virus. However, and in line with the national, regional and local epidemiological scenario, influenza vaccination will continue to be carried out during the rest of the year due to the dynamics of viral circulation.
Tureo also insisted that “it is a good opportunity to remember the importance of the application of vaccines against COVID-19, aimed at preventing complications caused by the disease. Four months after the application of the last dose, a booster dose against COVID-19 can be administered together with the flu vaccine. Both vaccines are available free of charge in municipal vaccination centers.
