Czech Vaccinological Society urging vaccination against Covid

The spread of Covid is reported to be accelerating around Europe and the Czech Vaccinological Society has called on high-risk groups in the population to get a shot against the new strain of the disease. The appeal comes in the wake of a similar call by the World Health Organization, which said that vaccination rates among the elderly and health care workers have fallen alarmingly in the past two years. In the Czech Republic, vaccination against Covid is even lower than against the regular flu. According health data several dozen patients are currently hospitalized with Covid in Czechia and eight people are in emergency care with complications.
