ARS, Assurance Maladie, and MSA Encourage Vaccination in Gers to Protect Against Winter Viruses
L’ARS (Regional Health Agency), the Assurance Maladie (Health Insurance), and the MSA (Mutualité Sociale Agricole) are encouraging the people of Gers to get vaccinated against winter viruses. The vaccination campaign is primarily targeting the elderly, individuals with chronic illnesses, and pregnant women.
While the Covid-19 vaccine remains essential for protecting against the most severe effects of the disease, it is important to note that vaccination against other winter viruses, such as the flu, is also recommended. This is especially true for vulnerable individuals and professionals in the agricultural sector.
In Gers, it is estimated that between 10,000 and 12,000 people are currently infected with Covid-19. Vaccination is crucial in controlling the spread of the virus and reducing its impact on the population.
Furthermore, vaccination against bronchiolitis is being offered to all children under the age of one, with particular emphasis on children under six months.
Despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, it is important to remember that practicing good hygiene measures and following preventive measures, such as wearing masks and regularly ventilating living spaces, are still crucial in preventing the spread of diseases.
It should be noted that while the flu vaccine can protect against influenza, it does not offer protection against Covid-19. Therefore, individuals are urged to receive both the flu vaccine and the Covid-19 vaccine for maximum protection against these winter viruses.
The health authorities in Gers are working tirelessly to promote vaccination and raise awareness about the importance of preventive measures, as well as providing access to vaccines for all eligible individuals.
By prioritizing vaccination and implementing preventive measures, the people of Gers can protect themselves and their communities from the winter viruses that pose a significant health risk.
