The Sassari Local Health Authority 's flu vaccination campaign has three new ambassadors: Sassari Mayor Giuseppe Mascia, Alghero Mayor Raimondo Caciotto, and Ozieri Councilor for Social Services Margherita Molinu. "I'm getting vaccinated because I care about myself and because I care about the most vulnerable people around me," said Sassari's mayor, who was vaccinated today. Raimondo Caciotto and Margherita Molinu will follow suit in the coming days.

The campaign's goal is to emphasize the importance of vaccination and reinforce the message of prevention and responsibility toward the most vulnerable, particularly the elderly and those with chronic conditions. The flu vaccination is free and strongly recommended for anyone at increased risk of complications from the disease. Throughout the campaign, in addition to the flu vaccine, it will also be possible to receive the COVID-19, pneumococcal, and shingles vaccines.

"Vaccination is a powerful preventive measure, but it's also an act of love and responsibility towards ourselves and others. So get vaccinated; vaccines are safe and effective, they prevent disease and reduce its side effects," said Anna Burruni, director of the Hygiene and Public Health Service at Local Health Authority No. 1.
