The Ministry of Health has the flu vaccination campaign through June 1, with D-Day set for May 12, when a national mobilization for immunization will take place. And if you are part of the priority group, then you are more than scheduled to get the vaccine and be part of the health team that will beat the flu.

They are invited to receive the vaccine: people over 60, chronically ill, pregnant women, postpartum mothers, children from 6 months to under 5 years, people with special clinical conditions, teachers and health professionals. Learn more at saude.gov.br/vacinagripe.

Be part of this team: get vaccinated!

And why is it important to get vaccinated every year?

Influenza, also called influenza, is a highly contagious viral disease that spreads rapidly and spreads from person to person through the airways. And winter is the season when this happens most, as most people are locked at home or in the office with their windows closed.

Influenza is divided into three major groups: A, B, and C. The last of them, C, is usually milder and does not have much impact on public health. Types A and B are more severe, so much so that the former concentrates the largest number of pandemics, such as variants A (H1N1) and A (H3N2).

Immunization should be done annually.

Because the influenza virus is highly adaptable, it eventually changes and evolves from year to year. This is why the Ministry of Health's effort to keep the vaccine up to date against a wider range of influenza types and the need to prevent it annually. Even those who took last year and developed no flu or cold should receive the 2018 dose to stay immune.

Will you escape this lineup? Of course not? So, run to a Health Unit now and get immunization! Let's enjoy the cold winter and the heat of the World Cup without worry!
