Influenza vaccination

Influenza vaccination  

<Message from the Student Medical Practice>

 

Every winter about one in every ten persons gets the flu (infection with an influenza virus). Usually this is an uncomplicated disease. For some people the risk of complications is slightly raised. In the Netherlands these people are advised to get an influenza vaccination. This yearly vaccination protects against most of the risks of complications from the virus. It doesn’t protect against the common flue or a Covid 19 infection. 

• People who are advised to get a vaccination are: 
• People with a chronic heart disease 
• People with a lung disease (like asthma and using permanent medication)
• People with diabetes.
• People with a kidney disease and bad kidney function.
• People with an immunosuppressive disease like HIV, leukemia. 

If you have a problem like this and are a student who is registered at the Student Medical Practice you can send an e-mail to the Student Healthcare to get a flu vaccination. spd@sgz.nl We will send you a reply with a time that you can come by to get the shot.  

Please don’t just come to the practice. If you have questions send an email or call us. 015-7999050.
