When is the flu vaccine generally better?

Influenza is a disease that many people will suffer from at present, which is extremely harmful to the body, so it is very important to understand it and do a good job in prevention. Usually, we should pay attention to supplementing nutrition, increasing body immunity, and paying attention to flu vaccine. So when is the best time to get flu vaccine?

The onset time of influenza is mainly from 1 1 to March of the following year, so the vaccination time is usually arranged from September to 1 1 every year. It should be noted that the climate change in each region is different, so the inoculation time is different. For example, in Jiangnan area, because of the cold weather, the inoculation time is concentrated in 10 to 12. In Guangdong and other regions, the vaccination time generally begins in September and lasts until February of the following year.

It is the best time to get the flu vaccine before the flu outbreak, but it should be noted that you can still get the flu vaccine for protection during the flu outbreak. This is because it takes 10- 15 days to produce antibodies spontaneously after influenza vaccination, so even if you have the flu, you can vaccinate at the peak of each year, and you can plan the vaccination time according to the specific actual situation.

It should be noted that for children, children from 6 months to 3 years old should be vaccinated in advance and use special vaccines for children. For babies, it is necessary to get flu vaccine twice a year to produce good protection. The interval between the two times takes one month, and parents should plan the vaccination time.

In addition, you should pay attention to your body before vaccination. If there are abnormal conditions such as fever and cold, be careful not to vaccinate, which will easily aggravate discomfort and lead to adverse reactions such as decreased immunity. Therefore, it is necessary to wait until the body recovers for a week to ensure the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Finally, we should pay attention to the observation after inoculation, and observe that there is no adverse reaction for half an hour before leaving. If you observe adverse reactions such as fever and vomiting, you should do a good job of testing. If the situation is mild, drink plenty of water for conditioning. If it is a severe fever, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
