Those over 75 years of age or chronically ill may request an appointment to be vaccinated against influenza and covid.
Osakidetza has once again called on the entire population to protect themselves against influenza by anticipating that the epidemic summit will be brought forward this year. According to the latest data, 417,744 people have been vaccinated against this respiratory disease in the CSC, 11% more than last year.
In addition, at the Casilla vaccination centre in Bilbao, every personover the age of 14 can be vaccinated without a prior appointment. So far 12,438 people have been vaccinated there.
In fact,the largest numberof cases of influenza have been detected in Bizkaia , with 160 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, while in the rest of the territories the number of cases has decreased, from 58 in Gipuzkoa to 23 in Álava.
Osakidetza's Director-General, Lore Bilbao, has recalled that so far 18% of the Basque population has been vaccinated. She has stressed that the rest "must be immunized as soon as possible" because the number of infections at Christmas is increasing.
Osakidetza has considered it necessary to vaccinate children, as the incidence of influenza among children under 5 years of age has been detected in primary care health centres, while in pregnant women the coverage so far is 38.6 per cent.
