It’s time to get your flu shot – this year’s immunization is ready! Tailored annually based on World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations, this year’s vaccine includes two strains of influenza A and two strains of influenza B, targeting the most common viruses expected this season.
The vaccines, Vaxigriptetra and Influvac Tetra, are both well-established and safe options used for many years.
What’s the importance of receiving the flu shot?
Who should get vaccinated? The influenza vaccine is especially recommended for people over 65 years of age, as well as for adults and children living with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, kidney failure, liver failure, lung disease (such as asthma or COPD), or various forms of immunosuppression. Pregnant women in the second and third trimesters are also advised to receive the vaccine for their own protection and that of their baby. Additionally, it is recommended for individuals who are in close contact with live pigs, as they may have a higher risk of influenza virus transmission.
These recommendations are in place because influenza can lead to severe illness in the most vulnerable groups, with risks of complications and long-lasting symptoms. By getting vaccinated, individuals reduce their risk of serious illness and contribute to lowering the overall transmission pressure in the community.
Why prioritize your health with immunization?
Research shows that the influenza vaccine provides about 60% protection against the virus. Although some people may still get sick despite being vaccinated, the course of the illness is usually much milder. Common side effects include mild flu-like symptoms or local tenderness at the injection site – most people experience no symptoms at all.
