 PERFORMANCE AND REGISTRATION OF SEASONAL INFLUENZA VACCINATION - FIRST AID - PERFORMANCE OF ANTI-TETANUS SERUM 

Influenza is a contagious disease of the respiratory system caused by the influenza virus. It can cause mild to severe illness and sometimes even lead to death.
The most effective way of prevention is vaccination with the influenza vaccine, which, when administered correctly and in time, protects against the transmission of the influenza virus, helping to protect against serious complications of the flu as well as protecting Public Health.
Influenza vaccine should be given early and before the start of the usual flu season, as it takes about 2 weeks to develop an immune response. Preferably, the vaccination should be completed at least 4-6 weeks before the start of the annual epidemic wave of influenza in Greece. Vaccination continues throughout the seasonal flu season for people who are eligible for vaccination and did not get vaccinated in time.
In our Pharmacy, every year we carry out hundreds of vaccinations against the flu safely in the - independent from the pharmacy - space we have created ("POINT OF CARE"), where the citizen also receives all the necessary information related to the vaccination (e.g. e.g. possible side effects and their management, precautions, etc.).
