More than 200,000 people are called to be vaccinated for influenza and covid from today in Navarre, with the Department of Health launching a joint vaccination campaign for the 2026-2027 season.

Thus, the health authorities recommend joint vaccination of influenza and COVID for those aged 70 or over; for those aged 5 or over who are in centres of persons with disabilities and elderly persons or residents of closed institutions; for those with situations associated with a high risk of serious illness (> 6 months): immunosuppression (including primary immunodeficiency and those caused by HIV or drugs, as well as transplant receptors, CAR-T cells and compliance deficiency); for persons aged 12 to 59 years, who are at risk and for pregnant women, regardless of their pregnancy.

In addition, flu vaccination is also recommended for persons aged 60 to 69, as well as for children aged 6 to 59, health and socio-health workers in public and private centres, who are at other risk, provide home care or live with people at high risk of complications, students who are practicing in health or socio-health centres, workers in children's education centres and those who have direct exposure to animals or are exposed to their secretions in farms or other farms.

Vaccination will end on 15December, but vaccinationwill continue for those who meet the criteria after that date (pregnant women, new patients with risk factors, international travellers included in risk groups) or who were unable to do so during the initial period.
