    Do children have to get the flu vaccine?Be sure to hit it.

    The flu vaccine is actually a vaccine that reduces virulence. When the flu vaccine is administered to the body, the body will produce certain immune antibodies to the small amount of attenuated influenza virus that enters the body. When the human body is invaded by the influenza virus on a large scale, the antibodies produced by the influenza vaccine in the human body will quickly begin to produce a large number of antibodies and exert anti-influenza virus functions, so as to achieve the effect of killing the virus against influenza.

    People who have not been vaccinated against the flu do not have antibodies themselves, and once infected with the flu virus, the body activates the immune system and produces antibodies against the flu virus. The flu vaccine saves time for antibody production, while the body responds more quickly to the flu virus.

    The importance of getting a flu shot1. Influenza virus infection has a great impact on the daily life of patients. There are also many benefits of vaccination. The first advantage is that it can establish a kind of protection that can effectively avoid the symptoms of flu in infants and young children.

    2. The second benefit of influenza vaccination is that it effectively reduces respiratory infections. Some children may have an upper respiratory tract infection or cold due to the weather or long-term low immunity. Influenza vaccination is effective in preventing disease.

    3. The third benefit of influenza vaccine is to avoid the symptoms of physical discomfort in some aspects and effectively avoid the phenomenon of excessive influenza virus.

    4. Enhance children's resistance and avoid children from getting sick often.

    Does the flu vaccine necessarily protect against the flu?The flu vaccine does not protect against disease 100 percent. Although the flu vaccine is not as perfect as we think, it is undeniable that it is still the most effective measure in the prevention of flu, and as long as the child is over six months old, the flu vaccine should be given every year.

    Influenza viruses are not 100% preventable from the occurrence of influenza, so parents are also required to pay attention to personal hygiene when taking care of their babies and baby contact. When you come back from going out, the first thing you do is wash your hands and change your clothes, so as to completely isolate your baby from the source of infection in the outside world. Parents should also pay attention to their own protection and actively get vaccinated against influenza to prevent themselves from infecting their children after being infected.

    If your child lives in an area where influenza is endemic and has no contraindications and has been assessed by a medical professional to be eligible for vaccination, a flu vaccine is recommended to prevent influenza or reduce the symptoms of influenza.
