The latest, flu vaccination arrangements have come.

Recently, the continuous monitoring of various respiratory diseases in Zhejiang shows that influenza is the main respiratory disease, and rhinovirus, mycoplasma pneumoniae, respiratory syncytial virus and adenovirus infection are also present.

At present, the influenza virus prevalent in Zhejiang province is mainly subtype A (H3N2), and there are more cases in kindergarten children and students aged 3-15.

What is the flu?

Influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza virus.

Clinical symptoms of influenza

It is characterized by high fever, chills, fatigue, headache and muscle aches.

Mild symptoms include cough, sore throat, runny nose and nasal congestion, while severe symptoms include persistent high fever, general failure, severe cough, shortness of breath and cyanosis. Children with high fever may have convulsions and convulsions.

Infants, the elderly, the weak or patients with chronic heart and lung diseases often have secondary infections in the late stage of influenza. Influenza has serious complications, such as pneumonia, viral myocarditis and encephalopathy, which can lead to sequelae or death.

Transmission route of influenza

It is mainly transmitted by droplets, followed by direct or indirect contact infection through oral cavity, nasal cavity, eyes and other mucous membranes.

How to prevent it: influenza vaccination is the most effective!

The National Health and Wellness Commission held a press conference on December 2 to introduce the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases in winter. Wang Dayan, director of the National Influenza Center of the Institute of Virology, China CDC, said that influenza, COVID-19 and pneumococcal infection are all popular respiratory diseases, and influenza vaccine has been used in the world and China for decades. Scientific research and vaccination practice have fully proved that influenza vaccine is safe, effective and a mature vaccine. Influenza vaccination can effectively reduce infection, even if it is infected, it can also reduce the incidence, and even if it is infected, it can also reduce the severity of the disease.

At present, it is the high season of influenza, and it is still effective to vaccinate people who have not been vaccinated with influenza before. It is recommended that you vaccinate with influenza as soon as possible.

Here, it is especially pointed out that people over 6 months can be vaccinated with influenza vaccine, especially for high-risk people such as children, the elderly and patients with chronic diseases. After being infected with influenza, the risk of severe illness is higher. Vaccination with influenza vaccine can effectively reduce the risk of developing into severe illness and death. I hope everyone will actively vaccinate.

Practice at home and abroad has proved that the use of vaccine is one of the most economical and effective preventive measures, and the vaccine is safe. As long as it is vaccinated in professional institutions as required, it can have good results, especially for the elderly and children, and should actively vaccinate against influenza to ensure the normal pace of life and study.

Safety is the first priority in influenza vaccination!

Experts from the CDC reminded that citizens and friends must truthfully inform the medical staff about their personal health before vaccination.

Pay attention to the following situations:

Anyone who is allergic to any ingredients contained in the vaccine (including excipients, formaldehyde, cracking agents and antibiotics) or has a history of severe allergic reaction to any kind of influenza vaccination is prohibited from vaccination.

Patients with acute diseases, severe chronic diseases or acute attack of chronic diseases and fever are recommended to be vaccinated after recovery or stable control of their condition.

Uncontrolled epilepsy and other progressive nervous system diseases, and those with a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome are contraindicated.

At present, according to their own situation, the general public can choose to vaccinate at the nearest community health service center/township health center voluntarily and at their own expense.
