Doctors Recommend Influenza Vaccination Once a Year

Influenza vaccine is recommended especially for people who want to go to a country with four seasons.

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — Chairman of the Association of Indonesian Internal Medicine Specialists (Papdi) Bogor Erwanto Winulyo suggested that people undergo vaccination influenza at least once a year. It needs to be done because from year to year the sensitivity is different.

“The virus that causes influenza will change the surface of the body. Last year’s vaccine will not be effective this year, so once a year it is recommended to prevent influenza,” said Erwanto in “QnA Health Wednesday of the Ministry of Health,” which was monitored in Jakarta, Wednesday.

Influenza vaccine is recommended especially for people who want to travel or continue their studies abroad, especially in countries with four seasons. Because the symptoms of influenza can be more excruciating when the patient is in a cold winter area where the temperature can reach zero degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, in these countries, the influenza virus can go completely undetected in the summer. How about in Indonesia?
