Numerous people got affected by flu or illnesses that had flu like symptoms in India this season. As winter is approaching, everyone is trying their best to not get sick by either trying natural remedies or taking preventive measures.
I have noticed that some influencers and healthcare creators posted about taking inactivated influenza vaccine before winter.
Does anyone know if it actually makes a difference ? The real question is if it provides protection against seasonal influenza and if getting this vaccine would decrease the number of people getting affected ?
Share your experience and knowledge about this vaccine including its side effects and benefits. Also comment if you or someone you know received the inactivated influenza vaccine
Yes, to be protected from influenza, we all should take single quadrivalent dose of influenza vaccine. It is an annually administered dose and need 2 weeks to build immunity.
Inactivated influenza vaccines can help reduce the risk of seasonal influenza and its complications. I think, along with vaccination, basic preventive measures can be especially helpful for people at high risk.
Influenza vaccines are generally prescribed in older and high-risk patients. this is given to prevent flu. side effects of this vaccine include fever, headache, muscle aches, soreness at injection site. However, i personally believe that if the individual is a healthy adult with no underlying conditions, he should stick to natural remedies.
Inactivated influenza vaccine helps protect people who are at higher risk of severe influenza, including elderly people and those with weakened immune systems.It helps build community immunity.Serious side effects like dizziness,hives are likely to occur.

Yes, the inactivated flu vaccine makes a real difference. It won’t stop every infection but it significantly reduces your chances of getting sick and more importantly cuts the risk of severe illness. Side effects are usually mild (sore arm, low grade fever).
