Flu vaccination at JUVENIS

What exactly is influenza?

True viral flu (influenza) is an acute, highly contagious respiratory disease caused by viruses. It is easily transmitted by droplet infection (sneezing or coughing) or through direct contact (e.g. shaking hands, door handles, etc.).

Unfortunately, the danger of influenza is still underestimated. Many people do not know that a genuine viral flu must be distinguished from the so-called "flu-like infections" and can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia or cardiovascular failure, and can even be fatal. Once the illness has been overcome, it is often followed by weeks of convalescence with severe fatigue and reduced performance.

How can you protect yourself?

Vaccination is the most important measure for preventing influenza and its complications!

When should you get vaccinated?

Vaccination should be carried out from October or November at the latest. As the surface of the viruses changes constantly, it is then necessary to renew the vaccination protection annually with the adapted vaccine.

Who should be vaccinated?

The influenza vaccination is generally recommended for anyone who wants to protect themselves. However, influenza vaccination is particularly recommended for children, pregnant women and older people as well as those with existing underlying illnesses (respiratory diseases, asthma, cardiovascular diseases, kidney dysfunction, diabetes, immunodeficiency).

When does vaccination protection begin?

approx. 2-3 weeks after vaccination

Is there a contraindication?

Allergy to chicken egg white. In this case, however, a special (cell culture) vaccine can be used.
In the case of febrile illnesses and acute infections, the vaccination should be postponed to another time
