A. Hello, your baby boy is 4 years old and if you are going to give him two doses of influenza vaccinations then he may get some protection against the Covid infection

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years ago

A. Influenza vaccine or the flu vaccine basically protects against different strains of flu viruses including swine Flu virus which causes symptoms specially in children with 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 age and initially two doses are given onelk month apart then every year single dose is required . It is not documented but still studies suggest that to some extent it mkay give partial protection against covid infection .
