The Xunta has informed selected individuals via SMS messages, indicating that they can visit the hospital centers without an appointment between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This option will be available until the weekend of November 21st and 22nd.
Additionally, from Monday to Friday, the number of collaborating health centers has been expanded to 69, spread across Galicia's seven health areas. As of Thursday, 15,635 people have already participated in the trial.
The objective of the Combogal clinical trial is to determine if a combined vaccine against flu and covid reduces the risk of hospitalization, complications, and death associated with these infections, compared to the simultaneous administration of a high-dose flu vaccine and a separate covid vaccine. The combined vaccine has already been tested and authorized, so the study aims to identify the most suitable protection strategy for the elderly population.
Interested individuals can book an appointment through the Sergas Móbil app or by calling 900 842 217, which operates from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
