These days, with waves of cold air storming Beijing, various respiratory diseases have entered an active period, and " flu " is also ready to move. According to World Health Organization (WHO) statistics in 2017, 3 million to 5 million people worldwide are infected with seasonal influenza and are severe cases, and about 525 to 500,000 people die from influenza every year! The chances of infection of children are much higher than those of adults.
A large number of global studies and long-term vaccination practices have shown that influenza vaccination can significantly reduce the risk of influenza and flu-related complications in recipients, and can also reduce the risk of influenza transmission to others after suffering from influenza.
Antibodies will appear one week after receiving the influenza vaccine. After two weeks, the immune antibodies can reach the highest level. Generally, can protect for one year.
Many children still get influenza after being vaccinated with the flu, so parents think that the vaccine is useless and there is no need to be given! But in fact, the vaccine is the first line of defense to prevent influenza. Although it does not guarantee 100% that all individuals are not infected by influenza, it has indeed made great contributions to reducing the incidence of population and reducing the total number of influenza each year.
To facilitate vaccination for the general public, the Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission has set up 428 free influenza vaccination clinics and 439 self-paid influenza vaccination clinics among medical institutions across the city. From October 22 to November 30, the city's centralized free vaccination time will be held. Each district will gradually carry out centralized free vaccination work for the elderly, middle school students, and primary school students based on the vaccine supply situation.
Here I will give you a list of free influenza vaccination units in the city, hoping that children in the city will not be harmed by the flu.
