今天就打流感疫苗吧

The facts are simple: Getting a flu shot every year decreases your chances of getting the flu — 和 you’re less likely to be hospitalized or die from it, especially if you have heart disease or have had a stroke.

• Have heart disease or a history of a stroke? 在最近的流感季节, about half of all adults hospitalized for the flu also had heart disease, so it’s incredibly important to get a flu vaccine ever year, which decreases your risk of serious illness or hospitalization.
  
  But skip the nasal spray vaccine – it’s only approved for use in healthy nonpregnant people, 2岁至49岁.
  
  
• 65岁或以上? A high-dose vaccine provides extra protection.
  
  Typically the flu season hits people 65 和 older the hardest. Between 70% 和 85% of seasonal flu-related deaths occur in people 65 和 older, 和 between 50% 和 70% of seasonal flu-related hospitalizations hit this group.
  
  Ask your health care professional about a high-dose vaccine. If one isn’t available, a st和ard flu vaccine is better than none.
  
  
• 有孩子，包括婴儿? The recommended age for flu shots was previously 2, but now it’s 6 months 和 up. Talk to your health care professional for details.
  
  
• 线上电子游戏飞禽走兽不清楚? September 和 October are the best times for most people to get vaccinated. Try to get vaccinated by the end of October, but vaccination after October can still provide protection during the height of flu season.

接种疫苗后，我还会得流感吗?

Even if you get the flu vaccine, you can still get the flu, but it won’t be as severe. Prescription medications called flu antiviral drugs also may help lessen the effects of the flu — if you take the medicine in time.

Treatment of flu with antiviral drugs works best when started within one to two days after flu symptoms begin. 这些药可以减轻症状, reduce flu complications 和 shorten your sick time by about a day. If you start to feel flu symptoms (such as fever/chills, 咳嗽和/或身体疼痛), 去看你的健康护理专家, urgent care facility or local pharmacy as soon as possible, especially if you’re at higher risk of complications because of cardiovascular disease.

And remember, antiviral drugs aren’t a substitute for the flu vaccine.
