While many countries press on with vaccine booster programmes, the Swiss Government has announced that it no longer recommends Covid vaccinations.
The announcement came from the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and the Federal Commission for Vaccination Issues (EKIF). It revokes the vaccine recommendation across all age groups. Doctors remain entitled to administer the jab, but only on a case-by-case basis.
The Epoch Times has the story.
Swiss authorities have stopped recommending COVID-19 vaccination, including for people who are designated at high risk from COVID-19. …
[Authorities] attributed the change to the number of citizens who have received a vaccine, recovered from COVID-19, or both received a vaccine and enjoy natural immunity from post-recovery protection.“Nearly everyone in Switzerland has been vaccinated and/or contracted and recovered from COVID-19. Their immune system has therefore been exposed to the coronavirus. In spring/summer 2023, the virus will likely circulate less. The current virus variants also cause rather mild illness,” Swiss health officials said.
Seroprevalence data from mid-2022 showed that more than 98% of the Swiss population had antibodies against the COVID-19 virus, indicating that people had immunity from prior infection, vaccination, or both.
