During the winter season, many myths spread among people about seasonal influenza and its vaccine and its effectiveness and ability to prevent infection. Therefore, King Saud Medical City published an official infographic to raise awareness against these widespread myths and underestimate the power of the disease.

The first myth is that seasonal influenza is not a serious infection, so a person does not need the vaccine, but what many people do not know is that there are more than 650,000 people who die from it in one year on a global level.

The second myth is that the vaccine does not represent safety, but rather is a source of danger, as it causes influenza infection. The truth is that the vaccine is injected with an inactivated virus that does not infect humans, but its role is to strengthen the immune system to resist this infection. A fever usually occurs, but it is a reaction of the immune system that lasts for a day or only two days.

The third myth is that after getting the vaccine, you become infected, so the vaccine is not useful, but the truth is that getting the vaccine prevents infection and reduces the symptoms of seasonal influenza and its complications.

The sixth myth is that there is influenza infection, so there is no need to take the vaccine next year. The truth is that you should get the vaccine annually because influenza viruses are constantly changing as new strains emerge.
