Flu vaccine available to priority groups

The flu vaccine will start being administered from today among population groups considered priority, such as residents of nursing homes and pregnant women.

The National Health Service's vaccination campaign, which usually begins on October 15, begins earlier this year with a first phase in which 350,000 vaccines are available. Residents in nursing homes, health professionals, professionals in the social sector who provide care and pregnant women are among the first to be able to be vaccinated.
