Flu vaccinations may be given in the afternoon

“We have to get vaccinated, immunize ourselves, use the vaccines we have. With COVID-19, we have experienced: because of the vaccination, our quality of life has changed, and now we can gather here.” This is Monica · Nieto Benito advocated the vaccination approach minutes before his speech.

Nieto, a pediatric nurse and vaccine expert, told neighbors who came to the House of Culture last Thursday about the convenience of immunizations we have with this drug that prevents disease. In addition, he explains which type of vaccine is best for each person, based on their age group and household, except for the flu, for which the flu campaign has just begun.

In this regard, Councilor Lali Salas, health and care coordinator of the health center, pointed out that the influenza campaign has started this year in schools with children aged 3 and 4 years old. This region starts on September 27, but Alhama in the province of Murcia will be a little later because parents have not yet received the information letter.

Later, on October 16, it will be the turn of children from 6 months to 3 years old and senior citizens over 80 years old. Starting from October 30, it will be supplied to people over 60 years old and high-risk groups.

Salas explained that this year vaccinations are scheduled to take place in the afternoon to avoid crowds at health centres.

qualified professionals
Monica Nieto said a few minutes before her speech that the influenza vaccination period had started early because it was observed that cases of this disease do not start with colds, but in September and October. For this reason, in order to avoid the peak incidence in November and December, it is necessary to go a little earlier.

Nieto wanted to emphasize that nurses are trained and qualified professionals so that people can be vaccinated according to their pathology. He noted that these drugs allow people to avoid disease and improve their quality of life.
