Vaccinate to defend everyone's health, relying on the advice of trusted health professionals to protect not only yourself, but also your loved ones and the entire community.” This is the appeal of the Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health (SItI), on the occasion of the start of the 2024-2025 flu campaign.
“Vaccination is the safest and most effective way to prevent flu or the more severe symptoms related to it - says Prof. Roberta Siliquini, president of the Italian Society of Hygiene (SItI) - In addition to personal protection, it helps reduce pressure on emergency rooms and hospital wards, lowering healthcare costs and improving productivity through reduced school and work absenteeism”.
The vaccination campaign against COVID-19 is also underway, with new vaccines adapted to the JN.1 variant, which can be administered at the same time as the flu vaccine in one sitting.
