To protect the population against seasonal flu, the Ariège-Pyrénées Professional Territorial Health Community (CPTS) is launching an anti-flu vaccination campaign using a mobile vaccination truck.
an operation which sees the participation of the Regional Health Agency and the CPAM of Ariège in conjunction with local communities. This initiative aims to “making vaccination more accessible and convenient for all residents of Ariège, particularly for those who might encounter obstacles such as difficulty getting to health centers or time constraints, and a way to combat medical desertification”, we explain within the CPTS.
The flu vaccination truck will be deployed in the markets of the different towns of Ariège and particularly in rural areas, from December 3 to 21, 2024, to offer free vaccination services to all those who wish to protect themselves against the flu.
A team of two health professionals will vaccinate eligible and ineligible people who wish to do so. They will also provide information on the importance of flu vaccination and answer questions from attendees.
“Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness that can cause serious complications, particularly in pregnant women, the elderly and those with underlying health conditions. recalls the CPTS. Flu vaccination is the best way to protect yourself against the flu and its complications. This is why it is essential to make vaccination as accessible as possible, particularly at this time when seasonal flu can have a significant impact on public health. »
