"Urgent & Essential: Flu Vaccine for Children, Adults & Grandparents.

A doctor discusses the importance of getting an annual flu shot with a family.

What starts as a small cough often turns into a serious infection—especially in young children and elderly grandparents. Most of these illnesses are caused by a common but dangerous virus: influenza, or the flu. This necessitates using Flu Vaccine for Children, Adults & Grandparents.

You may think flu is just a fever and body ache, but here’s what the facts say:

• The flu leads to serious illness and hospitalisation in children and the elderly every year.

• In India, flu causes lakhs of infections and thousands of deaths annually.

• 7 out of 10 flu-related deaths happen in people above 65 years of age.

• In small children, flu can lead to pneumonia, ear infections, and even hospitalisation.

As a working parent, you often catch flu viruses from your office, hospital, school, market—or even public transport. You may only get a mild illness, but you could pass it on to your child or elderly parent at home.That’s why you need the flu shot too—not just for yourself, but for your family.
