Why should children get vaccinated against flu?
Flu (Influenza) is a potentially serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and causes 650,000 annual deaths globally. It is more dangerous than the common cold and places a large burden on the health and well-being of children and even adults.

Flu vaccines cause production of antibodies about two weeks after vaccination. These antibodies provide protection against infection with the target viruses.
Who should get vaccinated this season?
