For the first time in the Balearics, smokers have been included in the risk groups for flu vaccination. Another new aspect of the vaccination campaign is that children between the ages of six months and five years have also been included. The director-general for public health, Elena Esteban Ramis, says that these inclusions are in line with recommendations made by the National Public Health Commission.

Ulla JacksonI don't quite follow what you are saying. All I know, is that I won't be getting jabbed with anything because other people tell me I must.
Donald JumpIt's interesting how the table has turned. When Covid was introduced in the UK, all were so proud, English scientist, UK company producing (half was Swedish), at cost. Articles thar EU had "blood on their hands" starting vaccinating one month later. Accusing EU "stealing" vaccine depriving the UK getting enough. All long forgotten now, memory is so short to many.
They ain't coming near me with that poison.
Special treatment for smokers seems rather perverse. Especially so when smoking is unequivocally proven to be harmful to both the users and those around the users. Better surely to deny vaccinations to smokers as an incentive to stop smoking?
