Epidemic Prevention Urges Insurance Coverage for Flu
The head of the National Center for Epidemiology and Communicable Diseases, Adel Al-Balbisi, called on insurance companies and the private sector to include the flu vaccine under health insurance coverage, especially with the start of the respiratory virus season which is expected to see an increase in cases in the coming weeks. He affirmed that the flu vaccine is currently available and recommended, particularly for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, individuals with chronic illnesses, those with weakened immunity, children, the elderly, and healthcare workers. He also emphasized the importance of adhering to preventive measures like wearing masks, washing hands, getting tested when respiratory symptoms appear, and staying home to prevent the spread of infection. He explained that the flu season and respiratory syncytial virus typically begin in week 43 of the year and continue through the end of the year and the start of the new year, noting that the epidemiological situation in Jordan remains normal so far.
