How is Influenza Different in Seniors Compared to the General Population?

      Influenza is a common respiratory infection that spreads seasonally, particularly during the rainy season. Symptoms may include fever, cough, and body aches. While mild cases recover within 3-5 days, seniors and individuals with pre-existing conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, or diabetes are at a higher risk of severe complications requiring hospitalization.

In Thailand, young children and seniors have the highest hospitalization rates due to influenza-related complications.

Q: Can Influenza Be Prevented?

A: Influenza can be prevented through annual vaccination.
The latest flu vaccines for seniors offer better protection and help reduce hospitalization rates from complications such as pneumonia and respiratory infections caused by influenza.
