Targeting people at risk: flu and Covid vaccination campaign begins

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

The BAG vaccination campaign against Covid-19 and flu is aimed at people over 65 and people with previous illnesses.

For this group of people with an increased risk of complications from both infections, the Federal Office for Public Health (BAG) is launching a targeted, national campaign ‘Vaccination against flu and Covid-19’. It starts on Monday and lasts until November 19, the BAG announced.

The relevant information appears in various magazines, on screens and online in the context of health topics. The BAG focuses on people over 65 and people with previous illnesses.

Almost everyone in Switzerland has already come into contact with the coronavirus and their immune systems have tackled the virus. In people without risk factors, the current virus variants generally cause milder illness. However, those who are particularly at risk have an increased risk of a severe course.

The flu is also not always harmless. It can sometimes lead to serious complications. The annual flu vaccination protects against this, writes the BAG. It is also recommended for people at increased risk of complications. (SDA)
