The flu vaccination campaign started in France on Friday October 22. On the set of 19/20 of France 3, the journalist of France Télévisions Jean-Christophe Batteria explains it challenges.
Friday, October 22, the flu vaccination campaign is launched in France. It starts four days earlier than usual. The over 65s years are called to get vaccinated as soon as possible. “They have received a receipt which will allow them to be vaccinated free of charge at the pharmacy. But these are not the only ones: there are also pregnant women, diabetics, asthmatics, immunosuppressed. In total, 15 million people in France “, highlighted the journalist of France Télévisions Jean-Christophe Batteria on the 19/20 set of France 3.
Last year, due to confinements and barrier gestures, the flu circulated less in France. During this fall, a population freer to move around and sometimes “less strict, we must admit, with barrier gestures“may be more vulnerable. “Especially since our immune system has been put to rest a little, it has weakened. For 18 months, he worked less, he lacks training and therefore the flu could come back severely. The proof is that infant bronchiolitis has already made a comeback “, explains the journalist.
