“The high diffusion of the flu in our region – explains councilor Verì – and the concomitant circulation of Covid, have prompted us to expand the audience of free flu vaccinations. This is to strengthen protection and avoid complications related to an influenza virus that is particularly aggressive this year, and to simplify the diagnosis and differentiated management of suspected cases”.
