🌟 Why get a flu shot?
- Protect yourself and your loved ones Vaccination not only reduces your own risk of infection but also helps protect those around you, especially those with weaker immune systems, by preventing the spread of the virus.
- Lower the risk of complications Flu can lead to serious complications like pneumonia, especially for the elderly, children and those with chronic conditions. Getting the latest vaccine can reduce the risk of severe illness.
🗓️ Best time to get vaccinated
- Flu season in Hong Kong typically peaks during the winter (January to April) and summer (July to August). However, since it takes about two weeks for your body to build up sufficient antibodies, remember to get vaccinated early!
