Dear Dubai Forum Members,

uniCare Medical Centre has launched its annual flu vaccination program to provide flu shots at an affordable rates.

Influenza ("flu") is a contagious disease that spreads around the world every winter, usually between October and May. Flu is caused by the influenza virus, and can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and close contact. Symptoms come on suddenly and may last several days. They can include fever/chills, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue, cough, headache, runny or stuffy nose

Flu can make some people much sicker than others. These people include young children, people 65 and older, pregnant women, and people with certain health conditions - such as heart, lung or kidney disease, or a weakened immune system. Flu vaccine is especially important for these people, and anyone in close contact with them. Flu can also lead to pneumonia, and make existing medical conditions worse. It can cause diarrhea and seizures in children.

Each year thousands of people die from flu, and many more are hospitalized. Flu vaccine is the best protection we have from flu and its complications.

• Flu viruses are always changing. Each year’s flu vaccine is made to protect from viruses that are most likely to cause disease that year.
• It takes about 2 weeks for protection to develop after the vaccination, and protection lasts up to a year.
• Some illnesses that are not caused by influenza virus are often mistaken for flu. Flu vaccine will not prevent these illnesses. It can only prevent influenza.
• Flu vaccine is recommended every year. Children 6 months through 8 years of age should get two doses the first year they get vaccinated. Adults need only one dose for protection.
