Insurance firms urged to cover flu shots
The head of the National Center for Contagious Diseases, Adel Al-Balbisi, called on insurance companies and the private sector to include the flu vaccine coverage within health insurance plans, as the respiratory virus season begins, which is expected to see an increase in cases, especially among the most vulnerable groups such as chronically ill patients, children, and the elderly. He confirmed the availability of the vaccine and urged people to get vaccinated to protect themselves from influenza complications. He also emphasized the importance of preventive measures, such as wearing masks and washing hands, to reduce the spread of viruses. The forecast indicates that the flu season will start in week 43 of the year, with cases rising towards the end of the year and the beginning of the new year, while the epidemiological situation in Jordan remains normal.
