Influenza vaccination for adults

Every year during seasonal epidemics, influenza becomes a serious threat to health. This virus is easily transmitted, can cause severe complications, and sometimes even lead to death, especially in people with weakened immunity or chronic diseases.

One of the most effective methods of protection is vaccination against influenza. It helps the body to create immunity to the virus and reduce the risk of infection.

Take care of your health in advance: prevention is always easier than treatment of influenza. Sign up for a flu vaccination at Oxford Medical. We use only certified vaccines with proven efficacy and safety.

Flu is spread through the air and spreads very quickly. Adults are at higher risk of complications than children, especially if they have chronic illnesses or a weakened immune system.

Getting vaccinated against flu helps reduce the risk of not only getting sick but also developing serious complications such as pneumonia, bronchitis or even heart failure. The flu vaccine for adults provides long-term protection by activating the immune response to the virus.

Vaccination is especially important for the elderly, pregnant women and people with chronic illnesses.

The best time to get vaccinated against the flu is early autumn – September and October. During this period, the flu epidemic has not yet started, so the immune system has enough time to build up protection. It takes about two weeks for antibodies to fully develop after a flu shot. However, even if you miss this time, you can still get vaccinated against the flu later, up to December or January, when the virus is still actively circulating.

The flu vaccination procedure is quite quick and almost painless. It only takes a few minutes. A doctor or nurse injects the flu vaccine intramuscularly, most often in the shoulder area. After that, you may be advised to stay in a medical facility for a while to monitor your well-being and eliminate the risk of complications.

After vaccination, you must follow a few simple rules:

• avoid physical exertion in the first few days;
• monitor the injection site - slight redness or swelling is normal;
• in case of fever or mild malaise, you can take antipyretic drugs (on the recommendation of a doctor);
• avoid visiting crowded places in the first few days after vaccination.
