Vaccination against Covid-19 marked the end of the acute phase of the pandemic. Since then, the recommendations have evolved: we have moved from broad vaccination to a more targeted strategy on people at risk, with particularly seasonal boosters. Let's take stock, keeping in mind that recommendations may continue to evolve.
1. From a pandemic to an established disease
After the acute phase of the pandemic, the virus continues to circulate, but in a different context: a large part of the population has developed immunity, through vaccination and infections. The vaccination strategy has adapted to this new situation.
2. Vaccination now targeted
Current recommendations focus on protecting those most at risk of severe disease, with boosters often offered as the winter season approaches, sometimes at the same time as the flu. Healthy people at low risk are not necessarily affected by regular boosters.
| Public | General approach |
|---|---|
| People at risk | Reminders recommended |
| Seniors | Priority protection |
| Entourage of fragile people | May be affected |
| Low-risk adults | According to recommendations in force |
3. Refer to the recommendations in force
This field evolves regularly depending on the virus and knowledge. It is therefore essential to refer to up-to-date official recommendations and the advice of your doctor, rather than old information. The vaccination schedule and health authorities refer.
4. Take stock with a professional
To find out if a booster is recommended in your situation, it is best to talk to your doctor or pharmacist, who take into account age, state of health and current recommendations. The decision is made on a case-by-case basis.
- The strategy is now targeted at people at risk
- Recommendations are evolving: refer to official sources
- Take stock with your doctor depending on your situation
For up-to-date information, it is advisable to consult recent official recommendations or ask a healthcare professional.
