What difference does coronavirus make?
“The recommendations for this year remain unchanged”, the FOPH stated on request. But efforts are being made to promote the urgency of the flu vaccination, the reason being that any sharp rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in autumn coupled with a wave of influenza could put the health system under pressure. The federal government is therefore making provision for more vaccine doses. Up to now, about 1.2 million doses have been made available each year. This roughly amounts to the number of people who have requested vaccinations each year.
