Seasonal flu is an acute respiratory infection (nose, throat, and lungs) caused by influenza viruses such as Influenza A and Influenza B viruses.

It may affect any healthy adult, but the people most at risk are children, pregnant women, the elderly, people with weak immune systems, and certain chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma, COPD, and heart disease, among others.

The influenza flu season generally occurs during the winter season, so It is recommended to get your flu vaccine in late November till January.

WHAT IS INFLUENZA VACCINATION?

Influenza (flu) vaccination helps to reduce the risk of contacting influenza, a potentially serious virus that can affect the respiratory system (nose, throat and lungs).

Influenza infection usually resolves without treatment, but some people may be more vulnerable to complications. Some of those at risk include children under 5 years old, pregnant women, people aged above 65, and people of any age with weakened immune systems and certain chronic medical conditions. When vulnerable people contact the flu, it can potentially be life threatening.

WHAT DOES THE VACCINE DO?

The flu vaccine helps your body to begin making antibodies against influenza virus. These antibodies provide you with increased immunity against influenza infection by attacking the virus when your body is exposed to it. It may take around 2 weeks before the vaccination has taken full effect.

IThere are many different strains of flu and these can change each year. That’s why it’s important to get an annual vaccination prior to the onset of flu season, as it will help to protect you against whichever strains are most likely to be circulating. You should also get an annual vaccination because your antibodies that defend against influenza can decrease over time.

Frequently Ask Question

Seasonal influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses which circulate in all parts of the world. It represents a year-round disease burden. It causes illnesses that range in severity and sometimes lead to hospitalization and death. Most people recover from fever and other symptoms within a week without requiring medical attention. However, influenza can cause severe illness or death, particularly among high risk groups including the very young, the elderly, pregnant women, health workers and those with serious medical conditions. In temperate climates, seasonal epidemics occur mainly during winter, while in tropical regions, influenza may occur throughout the year, causing outbreaks more irregularly.

The flu is often compared to the common cold, although it can feel much worse. Common symptoms of the flu are: These symptoms can present themselves differently in different people. Children & adults may experience varying symptoms of the same condition. Additional symptoms to be aware of during flu season are:
1 Children: Troubled breathing, chest pain, dry mouth, no tears when crying, lack of energy, diarrhoea, & an erratic pattern of coughs & fever.
2 Adults: Sudden onset fever.
3 cough (usually dry).
4 Headache.
5 Muscle and join pain.
6 Severe malaise (feeling unwell).
7 Sore throat and runny nose.
8 Troubled breathing.

The flu can be extremely distressing, & even fatal at times. The flu vaccine is highly recommended to protect you from this severe illness & hospitalization. People who have chronic medical conditions may find that they worsen if they catch the flu.
A flu vaccination safeguards people from cardiac events & respiratory conditions. It also protects the health of expectant mothers during & after their pregnancy. With children, a flu shot will protect their developing immune system from fatalities.

A flu vaccine acts as a training program for your immune system. It helps your immune system generate defensive antibodies. These antibodies, now having experienced a mild version of the flu, are ready & trained in combating it if you do catch the flu from an external source.
It can take two weeks to develop immunity against the flu. An annual flu shot is recommended as your immune system’s antibody count fades over time. The flu virus changes & adapts every year, which is why it’s so widespread & difficult to avoid. New vaccines are created & released every year to keep up with these rapid changes. Getting the shot just before flu season will equip your body to fight it.

Flu season falls in autumn & winter. It’s recommended in UAE in late Nov, December and beginning January and February.

The flu virus can rapidly evolve & your body’s immune system needs to stay updated in order to fight a potentially mutated strain of the flu viruses. Flu vaccines are updated every year to protect you from newer versions of the flu.

It takes two weeks for the flu vaccine to become effective. Avoid interacting with people showing symptoms similar to the common cold for 10 days to two weeks after your flu shot. You’re prone to catching it during this time.

The flu shot protects you for at least six months. Although, getting vaccinated for influenza any more than once a year is not recommended.

The flu shot equips your immune system with vital antibodies that your body needs to fight the flu. The chances of getting the flu after the flu shot are slim. Even if you do get it, your body has what it needs to overcome it.

Recent studies show flu vaccine can reduce the risk of flu illness by between 40% & 60% among the overall population during seasons when most circulating flu viruses are well-matched to the flu vaccine viruses. There are additional ways of reducing your risk of getting the flu after you have had the shot. Standard hygiene practices like washing your hands with soap for 20 seconds, avoiding contact with people showing signs of illness, & refraining from touching heavily-used surfaces are highly recommended. Following a diet rich in vegetables will also ensure your immune system is at its peak at all times of the year.

While health authorities highly recommend the flu booster shot, it is not mandatory. Similar to covid-19, influenza was once the cause of a pandemic that severely affected the lives & families of people that had it. The discovery of the vaccine was a scientific triumph & medical milestone. Modern-day resources & research allow medical professionals to prevent influenza by updating the formula every year, as the virus mutates. Safeguard your & your family’s health by making the responsible decision for your personal & public good by getting the flu vaccine.
