alarm mood in the flu period! The healthcare system is on the brink!

The cold brings the flu wave with it and experts sound the alarm! At the annual conference of the European Society for Clinical Virology (ESCV) in Frankfurt/Main, researchers from Viatris revealed frightening facts: The flu vaccination urgently has to be expanded to help the aging population and to preserve our health system from a collapse!

The scientists around Laura Colombo present groundbreaking data on the effectiveness of influenza vaccines. Older people, especially those aged 75 and over, should no longer trust the standard dose vaccine. The high -dose variant shows a survival advantage and could significantly reduce hospitalization. Experts agree: This vaccination should have state priority in order not only to save life, but also to relieve the health system!

flu protection for the working heroes

But that's not all! The study shows that it is also extremely important for healthy working people to offer flu protection vaccinations! What does that mean for employers? Simply explained: a productivity boost! Over 65 percent of employees in the public transport sector are directly in contact with customers during the flu wave. When these employees are vaccinated, the disease rate drops dramatically!

calculations show: The higher the vaccination rate, the lower the disease failures and the associated costs. The analysis is clear: employers who invest in vaccination programs save money and protect their employees at the same time!

an impending cost explosion?

The concern for the economic consequences is great! According to the Kiel Institute for the global economy, respiratory diseases in the upcoming flu season could cost Germany up to 36 billion euros! A huge amount that needs to be avoided! Simon von Boeselager from Viatris urgently warns: "We have to keep an eye on demographic change! The group of over 60-year-olds grows steadily! We have to make sure that there are enough vaccines!"

Time to act is now! If we do not increase our vaccination rates as soon as possible, we may be in a medical emergency that not only costs life, but also does enormous economic damage. Prof. Dr. Thomas Weinke, a leading expert in this area, urges flu protection vaccinations to be expanded to avoid bottlenecks and overload in the health system!
