The COVID-19 pandemic has led the government to extend and reinforce their recommendations for influenza vaccination, and several Italian Regions have made it obligatory for elderly people and healthworkers. Right now, however, the most reliable studies in the elderly have shown it is useful only in people with active heart disease. For people without heart problems there is no strong evidence in its favor. The same seems true for indiscriminate vaccination of pregnant women and children. For health workers too there is no proof of net benefit, and anyway the obligation does not seem compatible with current practice.
