Andorra’s Health Ministry is urging people in high-risk groups to get vaccinated against the flu and COVID-19 ahead of the winter season.
The ministry has launched a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of vaccination for people who are at increased risk of developing severe complications from these diseases.
High-risk groups include:
- People over 65 years old
- People with chronic diseases, such as heart disease, lung disease, or diabetes
- Pregnant women
- Children under 5 years old
Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself from the flu and COVID-19. It can reduce your risk of getting sick, and if you do get sick, it can help to prevent serious complications.
The flu vaccine is available now, and the COVID-19 vaccine is expected to be available in the fall.
The Health Ministry is offering free flu vaccines to people in high-risk groups. To get a free flu vaccine, you can visit your local health center or pharmacy.
The COVID-19 vaccine will be available free of charge to all Andorrans. When the vaccine is available, you will be able to get vaccinated at your local health center or pharmacy.
Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from the flu and COVID-19. If you are in a high-risk group, please get vaccinated today.
Additional information:
- The flu vaccine is safe and effective. It is made with a weakened form of the flu virus, so it cannot give you the flu.
- The COVID-19 vaccine is also safe and effective. It is made with a piece of genetic material from the virus, so it cannot give you COVID-19.
- Both the flu vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine can cause side effects, such as soreness at the injection site, fever, and chills. These side effects are usually mild and go away within a few days.
- If you have any questions about the flu vaccine or the COVID-19 vaccine, please talk to your doctor.
