France launched its annual flu vaccine campaign on Tuesday to encourage adults, particularly the more vulnerable, to get the jab before the virus becomes problematic during the winter months. "The seasonal flu vaccine is recommended for those people at risk of a serious bout of flu. However for those in the vulnerable groups, their costs will be covered 100 percent. Anyone under the age of 18 will still need a prescription from their doctor to obtain the vaccine. People who are not in the vulnerable groups can still get the vaccine, but will need a prescription from their doctor.
