What is Flu?
Influenza (influenza) is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses that is seriously harmful to human health. Influenza viruses are antigenically volatile and spread rapidly, causing seasonal epidemics every year, and outbreaks are prone to occur in places where people gather, such as schools, childcare facilities, and nursing homes.
The population is generally susceptible to influenza viruses, and high-risk groups such as pregnant women, infants and young children, the elderly and patients with chronic diseases are more serious after being infected with influenza.
What is the difference between the flu and the common cold?
Who should get the flu vaccine?
All people ≥ 6 months of age (not less than 6 months of age) and who have no contraindications to vaccination should receive the influenza vaccine. Combined with the influenza epidemic situation and the prevention and control strategy of multi-disease prevention, the harm of influenza should be reduced as much as possible, and the following key and high-risk groups should be recommended for timely vaccination:

The right flu vaccine for you?
At present, influenza vaccine is a non-immunization program vaccine in mainland China, and citizens are vaccinated according to the principle of "informed, voluntary, and self-paying". ≥ 6-month-old people can be vaccinated with trivalent or quadrivalent inactivated vaccine, among which people aged 3~17 can also choose trivalent live attenuated vaccine. For people who can be vaccinated with different types of vaccine products from different manufacturers, they can voluntarily receive any kind of influenza vaccine, and there is no priority recommendation.
Do I need to get the flu vaccine every year?
First of all, influenza viruses are prone to mutation, and the World Health Organization (WHO) proposes recommended components for influenza vaccines for the next epidemic season based on the results of global influenza surveillance every year.
Second, immunity from influenza vaccination wanes over time. Therefore, to provide more effective protection, it is recommended to get vaccinated against influenza every year.
