On January 8, the Dak Lak Provincial Center for Disease Control (CDC) organized vaccination against seasonal flu for officials, civil servants, and employees who are performing epidemic prevention and control tasks as well as people's health care work under departments and divisions of the unit and the Department of Health.
Accordingly, the seasonal flu vaccine to be vaccinated this time is IVACFLU-S, the inactivated fragmented seasonal flu vaccine of the Southern Hemisphere in 2025, produced by the Institute of Vaccines and Medical Biologicals (IVAC). This type of vaccine contains the surface antigen of the flu virus belonging to strains A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and strain B.
Workers in the health sector are one of the groups at the highest risk of catching the flu due to frequent exposure to infectious risk factors. Therefore, seasonal flu vaccination aims to strengthen disease prevention and control, contributing to reducing the rate of flu in the medical staff.
Thereby, helping health workers to perform well the task of preventing and controlling epidemics and taking care of people's health.
