Summer seems to have not yet left the closet or the thermometers, which record the highest temperatures of this good ‘summer’ that October is becoming. The environment does not make people pay attention to the flu and other infections, for whose immunization the vaccination campaign is already active. The punctures, double on more than one occasion, since they are against flu and covid, started this Wednesday for the general population. This double vaccination is recommended for people over 60 years of age, people under 60 years of age at risk, pregnant women, cohabitants with those with a high degree of immunosuppression, staff in health and social health centers and workers in essential public services. In the case of flu, this also includes staff at educational centers, students in internships at health and social health centers, along with people who work with animals.
Palencia will receive 66,866 doses for the flu this year and another 47,828 for covid. The delegate of the Board in Palencia, José Antonio Rubio Mielgo, received the vaccine this Wednesday at the Jardinillos health center with the aim of getting immunized and “encouraging all Palencia residents to come, because in a very simple way They prevent pathologies that sometimes become complicated and serious. Both flu and covid can pass unnoticed, but there are times when they can cause hospital admissions, so it is very important to get vaccinated and thus rest all winter without worrying,” he noted with the hope that the data from 2022, when 31.91% of the Palencia population was vaccinated against the flu.

The delegate of the Board has emphasized the prevention work carried out both in Primary Care and in hospitals, “because healthcare is not just treatments, since there are many programs to prevent colon, cervical or breast cancer, for example, but there are few people from Palencia who decide to have a test to prevent and avoid complications and unpleasantness,” he said to encourage the population to also undergo these programs.
