Flu and Covid-19 vaccines now available across Monaco
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Monaco's health authorities have confirmed that both flu and Covid-19 vaccines are now available, with strong recommendations for several at-risk groups.
Both the seasonal flu vaccine and the updated Covid-19 jab are now available in Monaco, the government has confirmed, marking the start of this year's winter vaccination campaign.
Vaccination is strongly recommended for several groups regardless of age, including people under 65 living with certain chronic illnesses, pregnant women, and those affected by obesity. Residents of aftercare and medico-social residential facilities are also urged to come forward, whatever their age, as are people living in close contact with infants under six months who face a higher risk of severe flu, such as those born prematurely or with heart or neurological conditions.
The campaign reflects Monaco's ongoing approach of coordinating flu and Covid-19 protection in a single autumn push, aimed at reducing pressure on the Principality's health services during the winter months. Residents are encouraged to speak to their GP or pharmacist to arrange vaccination as soon as possible.
