An article published in Magcentre October 17 recalled that the flu vaccination campaign for people at risk (over 65, dialysis, obese, immunocompromised, diabetics, pregnant women, chronically ill) began on October 18, 2022.
Since November 15, all other insured persons over the age of 16 have received the vaccine free of charge, which can be carried out by attending physicians but also by midwives, private nurses and community pharmacists.
While there is a marked decrease in vaccinations with 1.5 million less than last year at the same time, the flu seems to be 4 weeks ahead of schedule. In its epidemiological bulletin, Public Health France reports that Brittany is in the pre-epidemic phase and that several indicators show an increase in activity in the city and in the hospital in relation to flu-like syndromes.
