Talk to General Practitioner on Influvac Alternatives
Asking For Other, Male 65, Attock
My uncle is type 2 diabetic and heart patient. Treated with two stents 02 years back. Doctor suggested him to take vaccination to avoid flue. After 3 years of vaccination, he is again suffering from flue and cough. I tried to trace vaccination but forgot name and a local doctor prescribed "influvac". Please suggest if "Influvac" is good for long term flue prevention or is there any other vaccination? Thanks

Influvac is a good brands however alternate brands vaxigrip and fluarix are also available in Pakistan.
any flu vaccine how good it is will not able to provide long term life long vaccination you have to repeat it every now and then and all flu vaccines are not able to protect against covid
