There are more than 200 individual strains of viruses that can cause the cold or flu, and these strains are constantly changing, so the vaccinations against these viruses are always changing as well, which leads to minimal effectiveness for the prevention of outbreaks. More Preventive tips💡


Vaccines are available each year for influenza to reduce the likelihood of its spreading. If the strain targeted is the one that hits during the winter season, the vaccination is effective. The cold/flu is unpredictable and can affect anyone at any age.
