Everyone requiring protection against flu infection
Every year, it's recommended that everyone aged 6 months and older receives a flu vaccine. This advice comes from the World Health Organization (WHO), and as of 2024, it's also followed by Germany's Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO).
Vaccination is particularly crucial for individuals at higher risk of serious complications from influenza. These may include older adults, young children, and people with certain health conditions like asthma, diabetes, or a weakened immune system.
However, there are rare exceptions where a flu vaccine may not be suitable. If you have any concerns about getting vaccinated, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional.
It's important to remember that the flu can cause severe illness and even death, especially for those at higher risk. By getting vaccinated, you not only protect yourself but also help prevent the spread of the flu to others in your community.
So, whether you're six months old or sixty years old, consider getting your flu vaccine this season. It's a small step that can make a big difference in keeping you and your loved ones healthy.
