As the temperature has dropped again recently, are tissues flying around you again? Are there many friends who have colds, fevers, runny noses and coughs? That’s right, the annual flu season is coming quietly again!
Last winter, our district received about 76,000 doses of influenza vaccine for all adults and children. The vaccine boxes can be connected to the playground for 19 times~
The popularity of vaccination at that time was hard to find, and it is difficult to find a vaccine. A contemporary vaccine star!
However, after a brief period of heat, the flu vaccine quickly "out of breath".
From a population perspective, compared with the vaccination rate of more than 50% in many countries, the vaccination rate of about 4% of the population in our region during this influenza season is not enough to resist the outbreak of influenza.
So if you have a need to prevent influenza, please go to the community health service center where you live to get the flu vaccine.
Seeing this, I believe everyone has a question:
is the end of January, is there still a need for influenza vaccination?
The answer is yes.
Reason 1: The peak of the disease has not passed yet!
Generally speaking, the high incidence of influenza is from November to March of the following year.
For example, in March 2015, the number of influenza infections exceeded that of January and returned to its peak again;
Influenza infections in 2016 increased from February to March until it reached its peak;
July 2017 H7N9 raid, and the incidence rate gradually returned to a slower level until March 2018.
can be seen: prevent the late spring cold in March, it is not too late to get vaccinated now!
"It is better to have influenza now than blowing your nose during the Chinese New Year"
Reason 2: The risk of vaccination is low and the returns are high!
Influenza is not just a fever or cough. Every year, the world will increase by 3 million to 5 million severe cases and 290,000 to 650,000 to 650,000 deaths from respiratory diseases.
In my country, an average of 88,000 people die from influenza each year. It can be seen that this is not a common cold, but a virus infection that may cause death.
Although influenza vaccination cannot prevent influenza 100%, the WHO believes that influenza vaccine is the most effective measure to prevent influenza.
