Nearly 40% of Switzerland's flu vaccine doses are facing delivery delays heading into winter, raising concerns just as the first cases appear
The Federal Office of Public Health says supplies for over-75s and high-risk groups aged 65 and up are guaranteed, though it's unclear whether the general population will get vaccinated in time.
Along with flu, Covid and RSV will circulate this season — the current Covid variant, Stratus, is relatively mild, and an updated vaccine is available.
For older adults wanting the RSV jab, the cost is CHF 183.- to CHF 245.- out of pocket, since insurance doesn't cover it.
The flu season typically peaks in January.
