There is some evidence to suggest that the seasonal flu this year may be unusually severe. There were more than the average flu related deaths in Australia during their recent 2022 flu season. We think this may be due to pandemic control measures for covid reducing contact with and immunity to flu and other respiratory viruses. We recommend you protect yourself and your family from severe influenza this winter by booking your flu vaccine as soon as possible. As well as the usual flu vaccine injection, we also stock the nasal formulation for younger children and a flu vaccine for higher risk or older patients. For more information or to book your vaccine, please email us at enquiries@centralhealth.com.hk
As the Covid-19 cases stabilize, we are no longer requesting our patients to do RAT before entering the clinic. We do however continue to ask patients experiencing respiratory symptoms and fevers to do a RAT before attending their appointment in our isolation area.
The government has reiterated in the news that they have approved BioNTech vaccination against Covid-19 for 6 months and above, however we understand that no delivery time has been announced for this special formulation. We will keep you informed once we know more on timing.
