At the beginning of the new year, besides starting something to achieve your goals, starting to build good health to keep your body strong and free from illness will also help you have the energy to fully pursue your dreams. Ah! So let’s start a simple self-revolution by getting the “influenza vaccine” to build immunity from the start of the year.
When is the best time to get the “influenza vaccine”?
Normally, in Thailand, there is a heavy outbreak of influenza during the rainy season more than in the summer. Therefore, we should get the influenza vaccine as early prevention. The time that provides the most benefit is during Songkran Festival.
Did you know? Getting the influenza vaccine is very important
Because the benefit of getting the vaccine is that it can help prevent influenza and build immunity in your body during the outbreak. Influenza is a disease that risks severe complications that can be fatal, such as pneumonia, lung infection, ear infection, sinusitis, or complications that may cause dehydration. Therefore, everyone should get vaccinated, especially those with chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, or pregnant women.
No one wants to become an influenza patient at the start of the new year. Therefore, getting the influenza vaccine is the easiest way to build immunity, keep your body strong, ready to fight the outbreak… and ready to fight for the goals you have set.
