Take Action, Prevent the Flu
Flu season is coming. Although not required, we highly recommend getting the flu vaccination to help protect your children and your family. The ideal time to get vaccinated is about a month before the flu epidemic begins. Since the epidemic period varies slightly from year to year, it is recommended to complete vaccination from approximately October to early November. When you get a flu vaccine, protective antibodies remain for about six months and then decrease. Since the symptoms of flu and other respiratory infections cannot be distinguished, and the flu shot also reduces the risk of multiple infections such as COVID-19 or mycoplasma infections, flu vaccination is a must. In addition, even during any respiratory infection outbreak or not, it is recommended not to delay vaccinations and to get vaccinated as timely as possible. Parents can refer to the following information to consider taking the flu shot.
Some hospitals and the local community health centers (社区卫生服务中心) are providing flu vaccinations on-site until the end of the year, depending on appointment availability and supply.
