Texas Health Dept: Get your flu vaccines early

Five companies make flu vaccine for the US market. Here’s what you need to know.

It’s virtually impossible to predict the coming flu season.

Flu shots are not the only vaccines being made available.

Health should be everyone’s priority because no one wants to suffer through flu symptoms during midterms or stressful weeks. Those predictions can be wrong, of course, but even when they are right vaccines can be mismatched to circulating viruses.

Should I get the flu shot?

Flu vaccination is recommended each year for everyone 6 months of age and older. It is the first line of defense in treating the flu.

Patients question who are eligible for flu jabs on the NHS. The vaccine still saved lives though.

Cindy Volanti, human resources manager, told commissioners that the county has always provided the shots to retirees and part-time employees who do not have insurance through the county.

1 is Texas Influenza Awareness Day, it’s a good day to get a vaccination, or schedule one.

“If you do fall into one of the groups that are at greater risk, please take up the opportunity and have your free flu jab through your GP practice, local pharmacy or employer if you work in the NHS”. The body changes during pregnancy – heart rate and oxygen consumption increase while lung capacity decreases.

“Flu vaccination is now the most effective method to prevent flu infection”, Chou said while attending a TEDxGlobalDay event held by TEDxDaanPark and the Rotary Club in Taipei. But most concerning to officials was the drop in coverage among the youngest children – those under 5 – who are at highest risk for serious flu complications.

Pregnant women should get offered the flu jab by their midwife.

A person could also be exposed to a flu virus that is different from the viruses the vaccine is created to protect.

Hoffman said the province is following the advice of a federal panel that found the mist is more expensive, expires faster and is no more effective than the shot. There are also special flu vaccines designed for people 65 years and older.

“A lot of people are uninformed about the danger and the widespread nature (of the flu)”. While the flu may seem similar to a common cold, colds are usually slower to develop, and less likely to result in fevers. The flu can cause mild to severe symptoms and complications, and infections can come on suddenly. Last year, that included the H1N1, or swine flu.

Regardless of how Australia is panning out, people should always stay on top of their preventative health by frequently washing hands, covering a cough or sneeze and staying home if sick.

The province has expanded its immunization program in preparation for the 2018-19 flu season and will allow pharmacists to administer the flu shot to people aged five and up, stated a news release Monday.
