General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.
Some chronic conditions increase the risk of influenza complications or severe Covid-19. A recommendation may therefore concern adults younger than 65, but how it applies to you still needs an individual professional check.
For influenza, Ameli lists certain respiratory, heart and kidney conditions, as well as diabetes. These examples cover different circumstances. They are neither an individual ranking of risks nor an exhaustive list of every relevant condition.
For Covid-19, prevention particularly addresses the risk of severe disease. Age remains important, and an associated condition can also matter. Vaccination reduces that risk in the people concerned.
Prepare the precise name of your condition, your medicines, and known vaccination or Covid-19 infection dates. This information helps prepare the questions that the professional will ask before an injection.
Ask separately about influenza and Covid-19: “Which recommendation applies to my circumstances, and what benefit is expected?” A general recommendation needs to be considered in the context of your own medical history.
After that check, keep the agreed priorities. The vaccination service page can help you prepare your request for influenza or Covid-19 vaccination. Booking a slot does not replace the professional assessment beforehand.

Flu and Covid-19: the 2026–2027 campaign
The national flu and Covid-19 vaccination campaign starts on 13 October 2026. In Doctolib, choose “Vaccination antigrippale (Grippe)” or “Vaccination COVID-19” for the vaccination you want to discuss.
Bring your carte Vitale and, for flu, your coverage voucher if you have one. The professional checks the recommendations and coverage conditions that apply to you.
The pharmacy checks whether vaccination and coverage apply based on the vaccine, your age and your circumstances.
