Did you know that during recent US #flu seasons, 85% of flu deaths and 70% of flu related hospitalisations were among people 65 and over?
Despite these serious consequences, the flu vaccination rate for the 65 and over group was less than 50% in most EU countries in 2018. Vaccine uptake rates remain suboptimal among older persons.
Check out the new interview with Dr. Jane Barratt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-barratt-8057953/ ), Secretary General, International Federation on Ageing (https://www.linkedin.com/company/intfedageing/), highlighting why it is important for older people to get vaccinated against the flu, and how the uptake of the flu vaccine can be improved.
