Más de 42 mil adultos mayores de la región aún no se vacunan contra la Influenza

As we enter the peak of flu season, an alarming number of elderly individuals in the region still have not received their flu vaccination. According to a new report, over 42,000 adults over the age of 65 have yet to be vaccinated against the flu, leaving them at an increased risk of contracting the virus.

The report highlights the urgency of getting vaccinated against the flu, especially for the elderly population who are more susceptible to serious complications or even death from the virus. The flu vaccine not only reduces the likelihood of getting sick but also lessens the severity of symptoms and protects against possible complications.

This news serves as a reminder that it is important to take precautions during flu season, including getting vaccinated, practicing good hygiene and avoiding contact with those who are sick. It is also crucial that loved ones and caregivers of the elderly population encourage and assist them in getting vaccinated.

As a community, we must prioritize the health and well-being of our elderly population and take action to ensure they receive the necessary flu vaccinations. By doing so, we can help protect them from the potential consequences of the flu and keep everyone healthier in the process.
