Recent evidence shows that
the mortality of patients with Covid-19 can double when they are also infected by the flu virus,
says the Ministry of Health in a note, where it recommends the flu vaccination to people who have overcome or suffer from the coronavirus and belong to the groups prioritized by risk in this year's campaign, to "reduce the probability of complications from influenza."
In addition, it establishes that
if they have had the coronavirus in a mild or asymptomatic way
, they should be vaccinated after the end of the recommended isolation days, while in patients admitted for this disease, it will be the health personnel who will establish the appropriate time to administer the vaccine, taking into account your clinical situation.
Likewise,
close contacts of a confirmed case of COVID-19,
who belong to the groups in which vaccination against influenza is recommended, it is recommended that they be vaccinated once the quarantine period has passed if they have not developed symptoms.
The ministry led by Salvador Illa recalls that
there are no known medical contraindications to vaccinating people who have overcome Covid-19
and, in principle, it would not be necessary to wait a specific time after the disease.
All influenza vaccines available during this campaign are inactivated. And the contraindications they present are, as in most vaccines, suffering from a moderate or severe acute illness;
having had a severe allergic reaction to any component of the vaccine or after having received a previous dose of influenza vaccine.
Finally, Health highlights that
immunosuppression and pregnancy are not contraindications for the
inactivated influenza
vaccine
;
moreover, these groups are a priority to receive the vaccine.
