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 the flu and COVID-19 cannot be distinguished, the flu vaccination is a must. Even with COVID-19 outbreaks, it is recommended that the flu vaccine is received in a timely manner.

Parents can refer to the following information to consider taking the flu shot:

Tianjin United Family Hospital 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.

Tianjin United Family Hospital 天津和睦家医院
