    the influenza vaccination strategy generally remains that of protecting vulnerable individuals, rather than reducing influenza circulation or eliminating human influenza infections.

    European Center for Disease Control

    But what do they know, they are only the European Center for Disease Control and not a Lemmy user.

      What? That’s not a statement on the most effective, that’s a statement of current strategy. Which may be all that is practical given current resources.

      Which per your source is the case.

      vaccination based on country-specific epidemiology, burden of disease, cost-effectiveness, feasibility, capacity and resources.

      But scientifically the best way to protect most of the population is to vaccinate as many people as possible. This provides protection to people that are unable to be vaccinated due to other health conditions.

        I know what I posted, it’s a statement regarding the strategy of most EU countries. Meaning, even if I wanted I can’t get the vaccine because I’m under 55, do you suggest I buy it on AliExpress or what?

          What? That’s also not what I said. I just said I like getting it and it would be better if more people could.

          If you think that’s a suggestion to get a aliexpress flu vaccine that’s on you
