The Covid-19 pandemic is unpredictable with various variants that are difficult to guard against. Now, we also have to face the winter flu, and some foreign research suggests that being infected with both Covid-19 and the flu simultaneously can increase the transmission rate of Covid-19 by 2 to 2.5 times! How can we best protect our families?
According to the data, areas with higher influenza vaccination rates also have relatively lower rates of coronavirus infection and death. Therefore, to prevent coronavirus and also to cope with the winter flu, we should all get the flu jab.
However, children naturally fear injections, and convincing them to get one isn't easy. To address this, the Wellbeing Children's Medical Centre is offering a nasal spray flu vaccine as an option for parents, sparing your child the pain of an injection! Read more aboutChild vaccinationsthe data.

The efficacy of intranasal influenza vaccines.
Canadian research has shown that children and adolescents aged 2 to 17 who received the nasal spray flu vaccine during four flu seasons between 2012-16 had a similar flu protection rate to the traditional injectable vaccine, with a protection rate of 60%.
UK research data shows that children and adolescents who received the nasal spray flu vaccine at the same age had a protection rate of 65% during the 2016-17 flu season.
