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 age and initially two doses are given one month apart then every year single dose is required .
It is not docdumented but still studies suggest that to some extenvt it may give partial protection against covid infection .

No it will not. But it will definitely help in boosting babies immunity to fight with flu. All the vaccinations are important for baby and should be given so don’t miss a single vaccination. You can even take a help of first Cry parenting app vaccination tracker it contains all the information about vaccination so it will be easy for you to track the vaccination timing
