What you should Know and Do during the flu season if you are 65 years old or older

26.01.2023

Influenza is an acute viral infection that is easily transmitted from person to person, can cause severe diseases that lead to death, especially in high–risk populations (children, the elderly, pregnant women, people with a number of chronic diseases).

People over the age of 65 are at significant risk of developing serious flu complications.

The best way to prevent flu is vaccination, vaccination against seasonal flu is vital for people aged 65 and older.

2. Take standard preventive measures - avoid contact with people with influenza and SARS; when visiting crowded places, use personal respiratory protection equipment (masks); cover your mouth and nose with a napkin when coughing, sneezing; wash your hands frequently.
