The National Center for Disease Control announced “the extension of the national seasonal influenza vaccination campaign until March 31, 2025, based on the spread of seasonal influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus.”
This decision comes “in line with the recommendations of the Supreme Advisory Committee for Vaccinations regarding the importance of extending the campaign.”
This extension came in light of the increasing spread of the seasonal influenza virus and the respiratory syncytial virus in many regions, which poses a major challenge to public health.
The National Center stressed that “this campaign aims to enhance the prevention of viral respiratory diseases, especially with the increase in infected cases, and to ensure the safety of groups most at risk, such as the elderly, children, and those with chronic diseases. The vaccine will be available in health centers and public and private hospitals throughout the country.” “.
According to the “WAL” agency, the Supreme Advisory Committee for Vaccinations stressed “the importance of cooperation between all concerned parties to accelerate the pace of vaccination, in light of the current health conditions that require effective preventive measures, noting the necessity of adhering to other preventive measures such as washing hands and wearing masks in crowded places.” .
