The National Vaccination Committee opposes the expression of differing scientific views on critical issues such as vaccination following statements about the time between coronavirus vaccination and seasonal influenza vaccination.
“The expression of different views without thorough scientific documentation on social media and not in scientific fora, especially in this critical phase of the implementation of the Coronavirus and Influenza Vaccine Program, confuses the public and significantly affects its development “, the Commission points out.
“Implementing a public health program, such as vaccination, much more in a pandemic period, requires an interdisciplinary approach, documentation and responsibility,” he said.
The communication clarifies that the instructions of the National Vaccination Committee are updated and harmonized with the international recommendations.
The National Vaccination Committee recalls its instructions no. G.P.oik.59204 / 27-9-2021 circular on “Instructions for seasonal flu 2021-22 – Influenza vaccination” according to which: “The influenza vaccine can be given even on the same day as the coronavirus vaccine – but at different anatomical sites“just like any other day before and after the coronavirus vaccine.”
