Influenza, commonly known as the "flu", is a contagious viral disease that can affect anyone, including healthy people. It attacks the respiratory tract in humans (nose, throat, and lungs), causing inflammation of the membranes. Flu symptoms usually come on suddenly, and symptoms include high fever, sore throat, coughing, headache, muscle aches, and stuffy nose

At Kindred Family Clinics, we believe in early recognition, diagnosis and treatment of influenza. By performing a simple and non invasive bedside nasal swab, we aim to detect and diagnose influenza in its initial stages, esp since the treatment of flu with antiviral medication (TAMIFLU) works best when started within the first 48hrs after symptoms begin

It's widely established that flu antiviral drugs can lessen symptoms and shorten the duration of symptoms. Starting antiviral treatment shortly after symptoms begin also can help reduce complications. For adults hospitalized with flu, some studies have reported that early antiviral treatment can reduce the duration of hospitalization and their risk of death

To mitigate transmission, it's imperative that we get our flu vaccination shots annually, and that everyone practises healthy habits, good personal hygiene and be socially responsible!

Doctors have advised the public to maintain proper hand hygiene, wear masks in crowded settings, and get vaccinated at least once a year.

Shingles vaccine (SHINGRIX) helps prevent shingles, caused by the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV), which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. It is a 2 dose vaccination regime for life long immunity

The first symptom of shingles is usually pain, which can be intense with even a slightest touch. Other symptoms of shingles include rash, fluid filled blisters, fever, headache, chills etc. A relatively common but debilitating complication of shingles, especially in older adults is "nerve pain", called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), which can be severe and long-lasting, even after the rash has cleared. Other rare complications include lung infection (pneumonia), brain inflammation (encephalitis), hearing loss or blindness

Early vaccination is therefore recommended in older adults, such as those 50 years of age or older who would benefit from immunity to shingles

Under the latest vaccination subsidy scheme (VSS), Singaporean citizens >=60yo would enjoy subsidies, with out of pocket payments from $38 per dose onwards (T&C applies)

Feel free to contact/whatsapp or drop by our clinic branches to understands more about it tdy!

In Singapore, a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows a person, known as the "Donor," to appoint one or more trusted individuals, called "Donees," to make decisions and act on their behalf if they lose their mental capacity in the future. This ensures that the Donor's wishes regarding personal welfare and/or property and affairs are respected even if they are unable to make those decisions themselves

Our family physicians at Kovan branch are accredited certification issuers (CI) for LPA

Pls do no hesitate to drop by or make your appointment online to secure your slots with us today!
