Benefits Of Flu Vaccination
There are numerous benefits of taking influenza (flu) vaccine at home in Dubai. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from the flu and its potentially serious complications are to vaccinate.
- You can avoid becoming sick with the flu if you get vaccinated at the clinic or at home.
- Several studies show that flu vaccination reduces disease severity in persons after vaccination.
- The flu vaccine can help to lower the risk of flu-related hospitalization.
- The flu vaccine is an effective preventive measure for patients with certain chronic health issues.
- Pregnant women can benefit from flu immunization both during and after their pregnancy.
How The Vaccine Works?
- Like any other, the flu vaccine contains weakened strains of viruses or their particles. Since the influenza virus is constantly mutating, new combinations of strains are developed every year.
- With the introduction of a vaccine in the body, developing its defenses is launched. As a result, a person develops immunity, which will help fight against the true influenza virus. "Protection" after a flu shot lasts 6-12 months, depending on the vaccine administered.
- Modern vaccines are inactivated drugs with low reactogenicity, so the likelihood that the vaccine will provoke the disease is extremely low. Rarely, general and local reactions occur from fever up to 37-37.5 ° C, runny nose, dizziness, pain, and redness at the injection site. These conditions often go away within 1-3 days after vaccination.
- It should be understood that the vaccine does not give a 100% guarantee you will not get the flu. However, in those who are vaccinated, the disease is milder, and the risk of complications is significantly lower.
