Bookmark on -

With the change of season, every time you tend to catch a cold and you need to keep tissues in your bag as an essential item. Since, it is so common, we hardly give a thought about it and never really try to take prior protection. But it is better to prevent one such kind of disease, and that is Influenza or “flu” as it is commonly called. This influenza virus is particularly causes during winters and spreads easily through sneezing and coughing.

Though normally people easily recover from flu within a week, in some cases the infection may be critical and lead to serious complications especially in aged people or people having chest and heart disorder.

So, in case you are over 65 or suffering from some long term ailment like heart disease, diabetes or asthma, you must protect yourself. Take the flu vaccine which is available free of cost from the NHS for all those with age above 65 or with long term disorders.

Working mechanism of flu vaccine

Flu vaccine is made up of 1 type of Influenza B and 2 types of Influenza A viruses. When this vaccine is injected our body makes antibodies against the vaccine virus after about 7 to 10 days. This helps to develop immunity against similar kind of viruses when they actually attack. Since the type of flu virus changes every season, you need to take a new and improvised flu vaccine annually for better protection.

Steps to be taken for immunization

If you are willing to take flu vaccine, consult your doctor, a practice nurse, the regularly visiting nurse or the local pharmacist. During the autumn time, many doctors organize such vaccination sessions.

Hopefully, we have been able to guide you a bit as to how to tackle the regular menace of flu. So, do not wait to get inflicted again next season. Try to avoid contacting it by availing of the means mentioned above. Wish you a healthy winter ahead.
