Flu wave in Hesse: Doctors at the limit - vaccination urgently recommended!

The annual flu vaccination is expressly recommended by the constant vaccination commission (STIKO) for this age group. hessen.de point out that older people are particularly at risk and that there is a risk of serious complications or even fatal courses.

After five to seven days, the symptoms usually decrease. Nevertheless, serious complications such as pneumonia, which often require a hospital stay.
