Flu vaccination is available now

October is a perfect time to protect yourself from seasonal flu. From Monday (18.10) we`re opening a flu vaccination season for adults and children! Oberig uses a safe and effective Vaxigrip vaccine produced by the French company Sanofi Pasteur. The vaccine is made from current strains of the influenza virus, its composition is updated annually in accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organization.

Remember that the immune system develops from day 2 and reaches a maximum within 2-3 weeks. Therefore it is necessary to be vaccinated in advance (in October-November). Immunity against influenza lasts 6-12 months.

Annual vaccination is recommended for everyone, especially for those who are vulnerable to influenza complications:

• Children from 6 months who do not yet have full immunity;
• Children who attend schools, kindergartens;
• Elderly people (over 65 years old);
• People with chronic diseases of the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, diabetes, weakened immunity;
• People who often get colds;
• Healthy sociable people (doctors, educators, businessmen, managers, transport workers, utilities, etc.).

Vaccination can be given to pregnant women (starting from the 2nd trimester) and during breastfeeding.

The vaccine contains inactivated (killed) viruses. Therefore, vaccination cannot cause the flu. The probability of side effects is very small. The risk of serious complications of influenza is much higher!
