I received the flu vaccine last year. Do I still need to receive it this year?
The answer is required. Since the flu continues to appear new mutant strains, it can spread widely in the population, causing repeated infections and diseases.

However, even later, I have even suffered from influenza this year, in order to prevent infection by other types of viruses, influenza vaccines should be received.
Trivalent influenza vaccination. Among them, children over three years old and adults receive one dose; children under three years old need to receive two doses for the first vaccination, with one month interval.
