The Four W's about Vaccines





Too many people today are walking around unprotected against harmful viruses that could affect their own and their families' health. 

             Flu Season is here! Be informed and get vaccinated! 


Being vaccinated can prevent you from getting sick. Protecting yourself from flu also protects your family and the loved ones around you who could be more vulnerable to the serious effects of the virus.


1. Who should get vaccinated?
  • Children and Infants (6 months of age)
  • Pregnant Women
  • Senior Citizens
  • People with Disabilities 

And people who:
-Are at high risk of developing serious complications 
-Have certain medical conditions (like asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease etc.)
  • IN SHORT: EVERYONE



2. Why should people get flu vaccine?

  • Influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. 

  •  Influenza infection can affect people differently. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to others. According to Center for Disease Control, when more people get vaccinated against the flu, less flu can spread through that community.



3. When should people get vaccinated?


  • ANY TIME of the day!



4. Where can people get flu vaccine?

People who visit Britannia Medical Center and get seasonal flu vaccine have a very good safety track record.
