With the arrival of the cold and the assessment of a new rebound by experts, vaccination plays a fundamental role in avoiding reviving figures that resemble past waves.
The Public Health Commission has recommended vaccination with the second booster dose against Covid-19 for those over 60 years of age and those considered vulnerable, despite only 54% of the population taking up the offer of the third dose. In addition, experts support that it be administered together with the antidote against the flu.
