Influenza, or the flu, is a common and contagious illness that spreads each year from October to May. It can cause fever, cough, and body aches. The best way to protect yourself is through vaccination, which can prevent illness and lessen its severity.

Our clinic is pleased to offer the 2024-2025 Japanese Quadrivalent Flu Vaccine (injection). This vaccine covers four different strains of the influenza virus, providing comprehensive protection against the flu. These strains are selected based on the latest recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), which consults with an advisory group of experts to analyze global influenza surveillance data. This helps ensure that the vaccine composition is well-suited to the prevalent strains of the flu for the upcoming season.
