今天就打流感疫苗吧

The facts are simple: Getting a flu shot every year decreases your chances of getting the flu — 和 you’re less likely to be hospitalized or die from it, especially if you have heart disease or have had a stroke.

• Have heart disease or a history of a stroke? 在最近的流感季节, about half of all adults hospitalized for the flu also had heart disease, so it’s incredibly important to get a flu vaccine ever year, which decreases your risk of serious illness or hospitalization. Early estimates show that last season, people who were vaccinated against flu were about 40% to 70% less likely to be hospitalized because of flu illness or related complications.
  
  But skip the nasal spray vaccine – it’s only approved for use in healthy non-pregnant people, 2岁至49岁.
  
  
• 65岁或以上? A high-dose vaccine provides extra protection.
  
  Typically the flu season hits people 65 和 older the hardest. Between 70 和 85% of seasonal flu-related deaths occur in people 65 和 older, 和 between 50 和 70% of seasonal flu-related hospitalizations hit this group.
  
  Ask your health care professional about a high-dose vaccine. If one isn’t available, a st和ard flu vaccine is better than none.
  
  
• 有孩子，包括婴儿? The recommended age for flu shots was previously 2, 但 now it’s 6 months 和 up. Talk to your health care professional for details.
  
  
• 沙巴足球体育平台不清楚? September 和 October are the best times for most people to get vaccinated. Try to get vaccinated by the end of October, 但 vaccination after October can still provide protection during the height of flu season.
