Full Story:
The Department of Social Affairs and Health in Monaco is launching a joint vaccination campaign against seasonal flu and Covid-19. They are emphasizing the importance of vaccination for individuals at risk of developing severe symptoms. The target groups for this campaign include individuals aged 65 and above, individuals under 65 with certain chronic diseases, pregnant women, obese individuals, and individuals residing in healthcare or medical accommodation facilities regardless of age.
Pharmacies in Monaco already have vaccines available for the circulating strains, with or without a medical prescription. Interested individuals can get vaccinated directly at the pharmacy or obtain the vaccine and consult their general practitioner.
It is important to note that both vaccinations can be administered simultaneously by changing the injection site, or they can be given at separate times without a specific waiting period. It is recommended not to delay vaccination as it takes a few days for the vaccines to provide maximum protection after injection. The objective is to be protected before the start of the epidemic.
