In contrast, the measures in preventing the spread of the flu virus are to avoid close contact with sick individuals, sick people to stay home, to reduce the number of family visits to hospitalised persons, to avoid closed and overloaded places, and to feed healthyly by using more vitamins.
flu - related drugs have no preventative effect, only if you are ill with the flu and recommended by the doctor.
They must begin within the first 48 hours of the beginning of the disease for high effectiveness.
Flu - related drugs can make the disease softer as well as shorten the time of the disease. They can also prevent serious complications that can result from the flu.
The most efficient way to prevent the seasonal flu virus is to vaccinate the flu vaccine. I KSHPK at the beginning of the flu season has provided 85,000 doses of seasonal vaccine.
So far, doses of chronically ill persons, people over 65 years old, health workers, the house of elders, KSF, Police, QKMF and Infective Clinic.
