Doctors Advise Flu Vaccination and Early Treatment to Prevent Household Spread

Doctors Advise Flu Vaccination and Early Treatment to Prevent Household SpreadNext

Doctors warn that influenza, often mistaken for a common cold, spreads rapidly within households during monsoon and winter months, posing serious risks to vulnerable groups like children, elderly, pregnant women, and those with chronic illnesses. Experts emphasize early medical consultation, vaccination, good hygiene, and isolation to prevent severe complications and transmission. Despite its risks, flu vaccination remains underutilized in India due to misconceptions and lack of awareness, especially among high-risk populations.
