Flu Program

Influenza viruses cause major epidemics of respiratory disease. Influenza is characterised by abrupt onset of fever, headache, sore throat, acute cough and can cause malaise lasting several days.

In most years, minor or major epidemics of Type A or Type B influenza occur. Epidemics usually occur in the winter months. The formulation of the influenza vaccine is determined annually in anticipation of strains expected to be circulating in the coming years. The influenza vaccine is recommended for any person who wishes to reduce the likelihood of becoming ill with influenza.

The vaccine is extremely safe but should not be given to:

     1. Individuals with an allergy to eggs.
     2. An illness resulting in a fever above 38.5°C.
     3. An allergy to neomycin.
     4. People with a history of Guillian-Barre Syndrome.
