The recommendations for 2022 are the same as in previous years.
This mainly affects people with an increased risk of flu complications (pregnant women, premature babies, older adults and people with certain chronic diseases).Ī report on the spread of flu in Switzerland is published every Wednesday from October to April on the page Seasonal flu – status report Switzerland (in German and French only). On account of the complications (see above), it also leads to several thousand hospitalisations and several hundred deaths. In Switzerland, flu usually results in 112,000 to 275,000 doctor’s appointments (according to the Sentinella reporting system). Flu occurs sporadically all year round in the Tropics. Although the intensity and severity of flu epidemics vary from year to year, the fact that there was no flu epidemic is exceptional, but was also observed in other countries in the temperate zones. Due to the measures in place to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no flu epidemic in the winter of 2020/21 and cases of flu only occurred sporadically.
Influenza viruses mainly spread during the cold winter months, causing a flu epidemic virtually every winter.
