Dangers of flu
Influenza can lead to a variety of health problems, including pneumonia and bronchitis, which in some cases can even lead to death. Young children, pregnant women and the elderly are most at risk for complications. The flu can weaken the body’s immune system, making it more susceptible to other illnesses and infections.

Prevent the flu from spreading
In various places in Suriname, measures that were in force during the Covid period have been reintroduced, because they also help to fight the normal flu or prevent the viruses from spreading further.
There are several ways to fight the flu. However, the most effective method is to prevent the infection through vaccination. The flu vaccine is an annual immunization that helps the body protect itself against the flu. The vaccination activates the immune system, allowing it to fight the viral infection when it enters the body. It is important to remember that the vaccine is not a 100% guarantee of preventing the flu, but it can reduce symptoms and prevent complications.
In addition, there are other measures that can help fight the flu, including:
Washing hands, avoiding close contact with people who have the flu can help reduce the spread of the disease, covering the mouth and nose and simply staying home:
