💉Annual Flu vaccine given to Ashton and Freya 🤩🥰
📌Seasonal influenza is characterized by a sudden onset of fever, cough (usually dry), headache, muscle and joint pain, severe malaise (feeling unwell), sore throat and a runny nose.
📌The cough can be severe and can last 2 or more weeks.
📌Most people recover from fever and other symptoms within a week without requiring medical attention. But influenza can cause severe illness or death especially in people at high risk
📌The most effective way to prevent the disease is vaccination.
📌All children ages 6 months and older should be vaccinated annually with influenza vaccine.
📌Children 6 months through 8 years who are receiving the flu vaccine for the first time or whose vaccination status is unknown should receive two doses of influenza vaccine at least four weeks apart. All other children should receive one dose this season.
💉We also do adult flu vaccination.
