The vaccination campaign against seasonal flu will not be carried out correctly due to the lack of nursing professionals. In health centers, where vaccination is mostly carried out, 4,000 more nurses are needed . Madrid is the Autonomous Community with the fewest nurses per inhabitant in health centers.

While in other regions investments are made to enhance Primary Care, health centers here are closed or their AOL Email List access is limited. If it is already impossible to carry out daily work, how do they also want us to carry out vaccination against seasonal flu. There are no nurses, we can't cope and the nurses are fed up and tired, very tired," they say.

Either the people of Madrid are vaccinated or PCRs are done or the care that chronic users need, periodic check-ups, health programs, etc. are carried out. Everything will not be able to be done and it will be, as always, the people of Madrid who will suffer the consequences ,” they say. The Nursing Union observes the situation with concern.
