Influenza vaccination with GC Flu vaccine
Influenza often begins suddenly and can be accompanied by high fever, dry cough, sore throat, body aches, and significant fatigue. Influenza can have a severe course and cause complications, especially in people at increased risk.
Vaccination against influenza reduces the risk of illness, severe course, and complications. Since influenza viruses are constantly changing, and immunity after vaccination declines over time, vaccination is recommended annually.
The best time for influenza vaccination is before the active circulation of viruses begins, usually in the fall. At the same time, if you did not manage to get vaccinated in the fall, you can still get vaccinated later during the influenza season.
Influenza is a highly contagious disease. Among its possible complications are pneumonia, otitis, bronchitis, as well as exacerbation of chronic diseases.
Young children, people aged 65 and older, pregnant women, individuals with chronic diseases, and those with weakened immune systems are at increased risk of severe illness and complications.

Who can get vaccinated?
GC Flu is intended for the active immunization of adults, including pregnant women, and children aged 6 months and older.
The inactivated influenza vaccine can be used during pregnancy. Vaccination is also recommended for the elderly and individuals with chronic diseases, as these groups are at an increased risk of influenza complications.
Before vaccination, a healthcare professional will assess your health condition and gather information about previous vaccination reactions, allergic reactions, and possible contraindications.
Children under 9 years old who have not been vaccinated against influenza previously will need a second dose of the vaccine at least 4 weeks later—the vaccination schedule is determined by the physician based on the child's age and previous vaccination history.
If you have an acute illness or a high fever at the time of vaccination, inform your doctor. In that case, vaccination may be postponed until recovery.
