Health Ministry Clarifies Flu Vaccine Benefits

The Ministry of Health has confirmed that the seasonal influenza vaccine significantly reduces the risk of infection by the virus, by approximately 40% to 60%, especially when the circulating strains match those in the vaccine. The vaccine also decreases the likelihood of severe complications such as pneumonia and reduces hospitalizations by more than 50%, particularly among the elderly and individuals with chronic illnesses. Since the influenza virus changes annually, it is recommended to receive the vaccine each season to ensure protection, with a focus on the most vulnerable groups such as seniors, children, and pregnant women, for whom the vaccine is considered safe and effective. In conclusion, experts advise getting vaccinated to prevent complications and to reduce the spread of the virus during the winter season.
