Influenza A virus subtype H1N1, which is also known as A(H1N1) is a subtype of influenza virus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Recently, the new influenza variation H1N1 has managed to spread to many countries around the world. Although it is not as severe as SARS many years back, it still has the potential to become a pandemic if not contained properly.

For working people and travellers, it is quite impossible to be in isolation and away from other humans. So the next Vaxigrip influenza vaccine injection for virus preventionbest thing to do is protect yourself. How? These are the few things when followed, will improve your body’s defence against influenza virus:

  1. Get influenza vaccine injection to protect yourself from influenza virus.
  2. Wear face mask when being in public and among crowd.
  3. Eat Multivitamin and Vitamin C tablets daily as per recommended dosage.
  4. Try to get nutrients from natural sources such as fruits and vegetables, e.g. oranges, tomatoes, carrots. Best if juiced or made into smoothie.

The most important is getting influenza vaccine injection. This vaccine is a type of medication that is used to prevent influenza (flu). Influenza is a common viral illness caused by 2 types of virus; influenza A and influenza B.

I went to a local clinic in Kuala Lumpur and asked for influenza vaccination. The doctor injected me with Vaxigrip, a brand of influenza vaccine. I was told that the influenza vaccination effect can last about a year. That means I should be more protected than those without influenza vaccination. I have to do it as I will be travelling to 5 countries within the next one year.

This influenza vaccine increases a person’s defenses against the influenza virus. It works by introducing very small amounts of viral components into the body. These components are enough to stimulate the production of antibodies (cells designed to attack that particular virus), which will remain in the body and ready to attack that same influenza virus in the future.

And I feel it’s better to be protected than to find cure. So paying RM100 per influenza injection gives me more chance of surviving influenza virus attack.. and it’s worth the money paid.
