Vaccination against the flu virus enables the prevention and emergence of complications resulting from the disease, deaths and their consequences on health services, in addition to minimizing the burden of the disease, reducing symptoms, which can be confused with those of Covid- 19.

The Influenza vaccine it can be received together with vaccines against Covid-19 and other vaccines without any problems.
