Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Influenza vaccine or the flu vaccine is basically a vaccine which protects against different strains of flu viruses including swine Flu virus which causes symptoms specially in children because of less immunity.
Though it is not a mandatory vaccine but it should be given to every child to protect against different flu infection which is very common every year . this vaccine is given after 6 months of agehi and initially two doses are given one month apart then every year single dose is required .
It is not documtented but still studies suggest that to some extent it may give partial protection against covid infection .

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. The first flu shot is given at six months after the birth of the child. Until then, he or she has his/her mother's immunity to shield them from the pathogens. After six months, parents must get their children vaccinated for flu every year until five years of age.
