| Popis: | Influenza is the most common infectious disease preventable by vaccination in developed countries; it can affect people of all ages and cause epidemics. Although the symptoms are usually mild, complications may arise that require a hospital admission and might cause the patient's death in some cases. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza, and the World Health Organization recommends reaching immunization coverages against influenza of at least 75% in people over 65 years of age and in the high-risk population, as well as among healthcare professionals. This document summarizes the key points of a recent document containing information updates and considerations regarding influenza vaccination in Spain and the present recommendations. The document was issued by the Influenza Study Group and the signing scientific societies and professional organizations. |
