Seasonal flu vaccination details for residents
The Ministry of Health has launched a national campaign for influenza vaccination and awareness, covering all healthcare centers and facilities in collaboration with Hamad Medical Corporation and Primary Healthcare Corporation. The campaign targets the most vulnerable groups, such as seniors over 50 years old, children from six months to five years old, pregnant women, patients with chronic illnesses, and healthcare workers. The vaccine is available free of charge at more than 50 healthcare facilities, with no prior appointment needed. It is recommended to receive the vaccine before the start of winter, as it takes two weeks for the body to develop immunity. Vaccines are a safe and effective means of preventing severe influenza complications, and it is advised to get vaccinated as soon as possible to reduce the spread of infection and protect public health.
