Interest in Covid vaccination growing

Over 100,000 people in Czechia have received Covid booster shots since inoculation started in early September, the Czech Health Ministry reported. People can register to get the XBB.1.5 vaccine in hospitals and at medical centres. Some GPs also provide the service. The health ministry has urged elderly people and high-risk groups to get the vaccine. The Covid vaccine is covered by health insurance and the flu vaccine which is also being administered is free for people over the age of 65.
