Start of the 2024/2025 flu season: Early delivery of vaccine delivery for better community immunity

The upcoming flu season brings with it both challenges and opportunities for the health of the population. The Viatris Group has announced that it will soon start delivery of flu vaccines. This measure is crucial to ensure timely immunization of the population and prevent a possible flu wave.

A high vaccination rate has far -reaching positive effects on the entire community. In particular, the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes that a target vaccination rate of 75 % should be sought for risk groups. However, this applies especially to Germany, where the vaccination rate among the under 60 is often not sufficient. There is a noticeable need to educate the population about the importance of the flu shot and motivate them to participate.

The implementation of these measures is not only the responsibility of the health authorities, but also the medical profession and pharmacies. In many German cities, doctors offer: inside and pharmacists: Inside these vaccinations. A pharmacist from Nistertal, Martina Müller-Greis, notes: "We have the opportunity to point out the need to vaccination the flu through personal advice in the pharmacies. This can encourage people to be vaccinated, regardless of where the vaccination takes place."

Simon von Boeselager, head of the Germany business of Viatris, emphasizes that the company has undertaken to ensure the availability of vaccines in order to achieve as many people as possible - from infants to older patients. This access to vaccines is an important part of the global health offer of Viatris.
