With #COVID19 numbers rising @ECDC_EU and @EMA_News published recommendations for preparing vaccination campaigns and health systems for the autumn.
We must use this time to get ready.
RT @ECDC_Outbreaks: This document offers an overview of the available scientific and epidemiological evidence and provides public health considerations to support decisions on the implementation of additional booster doses of #COVID19vaccines.
RT @ECDC_Outbreaks: @WHO_Europe This document outlines considerations to support the continuity of national surveillance systems & public health laboratories for surveillance of: #influenza, #SARSCoV2, and potentially other respiratory viruses (e.x. #RSV) in the 2022/2023 winter season and beyond.
RT @EU_Health: Depending on how the situation evolves, additional boosters may be needed for other groups at a later stage➡️this will be driven by science
Remember: measures like frequent hand washing,masks & ventilation also help reduce transmission & protect our communities
#StrongerTogether
RT @EU_Health: #COVID19: What's a vaccine booster?
Boosters are extra vaccine doses that maintain/restore protection against death or hospitalisation from COVID-19
They are important because protection from primary COVID-19 vaccination may reduce over time
