Saudi ICU influenza cases mostly unvaccinated

The Saudi Ministry of Health has found that 95.5% of ICU admissions due to influenza last year were among unvaccinated individuals, coinciding with the launch of the seasonal flu vaccine and the availability of appointment booking through the "Sehhaty" app. The ministry confirmed the vaccine's effectiveness in reducing the risk of infection and complications, and its contribution to lowering the mortality risk among the elderly by more than two-thirds. It also urged those most at risk of complications—such as people with chronic illnesses over age 50, children from 6 months to 5 years old, pregnant women, and individuals with severe obesity—to proactively receive their annual vaccination.
