Flu

RKI boss Wieler warns of a corona wave due to the holiday season in autumn. The flu could worsen the situation.

Experts warn of a violent flu season, provided that the mask requirement for vaccinated people is not overturned. What sounds counterproductive follows medical logic.

The influenza vaccination season will start again soon. Even a double spade is conceivable: against flu and corona at the same time.

In addition to the corona vaccinations, many medical practices now also offer routine flu vaccinations. The head of the Standing Vaccination Commission sees no problems with overlaps.

Chinese health authorities reported Tuesday that they have detected the world's first case of H10N3 bird flu in humans.

This year, due to the health crisis caused by Covid, it has been decided to bring the flu vaccination campaign forward to the first half of October (normally begins at the end of October-beginning of November). The objective is to buy time to ensure that the population at risk has developed antibodies for when infections begin to increase in winter.
