- Can aliens be vaccinated in Slovenia?
- Should people continue to be vaccinated against seasonal influenza?
- Will current seasonal influenza vaccines offer any protection against influenza A (H1N1) infection?
Can aliens be vaccinated in Slovenia?
The vaccination is available to all persons who have permanently or temporarily resided in Slovenia for at least three months. As a rule, such persons have been covered by compulsory health insurance scheme, too. Vaccination is not available to persons not residing in Slovenia.
topShould people continue to be vaccinated against seasonal influenza?
When it met on 7 July 2009, SAGE did not propose changes to the current WHO seasonal vaccination recommendations. People should therefore continue to seek seasonal influenza vaccination like any other year.
topWill current seasonal influenza vaccines offer any protection against influenza A (H1N1) infection?
So far, evidence suggests that it is unlikely that seasonal influenza vaccines will be protective against the new pandemic virus.
