Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children1 Year agoA. Influenza vaccine r 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 documented but still studies suggest that to some extent it may give partial protection against covid infection .

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. First of all let me clarify flu and influenza are not mandatory vaccinations is totally your choice if you would want to get it done it can be done till the age of seven years if you’re interested and if you do not want to get it done there is no compulsion on it
