Epidemic ** is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus, which is more likely to be epidemic in winter. So how do you fight the flu?In addition to strengthening your own immunity, the best way to do this is to get a flu shot.
On the morning of the 8th, the reporter saw at the Community Health Service Center of Tongjiang Street, Leshan District, that many citizens were bringing their children to get the flu vaccine.
Citizen Mr. Wang: The main thing is to prevent it, mainly to prevent severe colds.
Citizen Ms. Liu: When children get vaccinated, parents have a sense of security, and vaccines are still very important.
The reporter saw at the scene that among the people who received the flu vaccine, in addition to children, there are also many adults and the elderly.
Citizen Ms. Zhu: I just thought that getting an injection would be good for us seniors, so I chose to get an injection.
The reporter learned that the best time to vaccinate the flu vaccine is to complete the vaccination one month before the flu season, usually from September to October every year. Recently, relevant professionals from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention introduced at a press conference that for people who have not been vaccinated against influenza before, influenza vaccination is still effective, and even infection can reduce the incidence of disease, and even if it occurs, it can reduce the severity of the disease. 
Zhan Hongjian, Director of Tongjiang Street Community Health Service Center: Now the flu vaccine is still effective, our flu vaccine is a quadrivalent influenza vaccine, and the current vaccine storage is sufficient, so far, we have vaccinated more than 7,000 people this year.
Although the best time for vaccination has been missed, the influenza vaccine is still effective, so citizens can choose whether to be vaccinated according to their specific conditions, and if necessary, they can go to the community health service center to get vaccinated.
