Statistics show that the global influenza incidence has increased significantly since the beginning of this year, with the number of reported cases increasing significantly compared with the past two years. Experts call for: The current influenza form is not optimistic and we should actively receive influenza vaccination.
Influenza is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets, and can also be transmitted through direct contact between people, or through indirect contact with contaminated items. Generally, it is manifested as fever, headache, myalgia, fatigue, rhinitis, pharynx and cough, which may cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Generally speaking, the course of the disease is about one week, and a few people have left cough symptoms. Some elderly people, pregnant women and people with low immunity may cause severe illness or even death. Bao Changjun, director of the emergency transmission office of the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that the risk of seasonal influenza transmission has increased, and the influenza epidemic situation this winter and next spring is not optimistic. He called on key groups to actively receive influenza vaccines, such as medical staff, the elderly and children.
At present, community health service centers in all parts of the province have begun to make appointments for vaccination. Sun Li, head of the Prevention and Protection Section of Huaihai Road Community Health Service Center in Qinhuai District, Nanjing, said: "About 600 people have been vaccinated. We can make an appointment for a quadrivalent influenza vaccine in the WeChat public account vaccine."

Nanjing has received more than 20,000 doses of influenza vaccine: "All districts in Nanjing can receive the new crown vaccine , and residents want to receive it. If you want to go to the vaccination clinic of the community health service center near your home for consultation, the epidemics we provide include trivalent vaccines and quadrivalent vaccines. For teenagers aged 3 to 17, we also have nasal spray vaccines for teenagers. "

So far, Nanjing has received nearly 20,000 doses of influenza vaccine.
