600 infected per week, but low interest in flu vaccines in Shkodra

In Shkodra, although the number of people affected by the flu and who have sought medical help is over 3 thousand during January alone, there is a low interest in anti-flu vaccines. About a third of the vaccine doses received in Shkodra are still in stock after being rejected by citizens.

Data from the Shkodra regional hospital and health centers show that the seasonal flu viral situation is at its highest point at the end of January. During the last week, public health authorities in Shkodra have registered at least 600 people with flu who have sought medical help.

But in the face of this situation, the population seems to have refused to get vaccinated with flu vaccines. Data shows that almost a third of the doses planned for Shkodra are still in stock.

According to official data, during the month of January, about 3 thousand people were affected by the flu in Shkodra, a high figure. Unlike previous years, this time, according to doctors, the flu has come more aggressively for many infected people, causing serious complications, but so far without fatalities. (A2 Televizion)
