As the temperature drops, the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control (Taiwan CDC) aims to increase the flu vaccination rate among preschool children. On November 22, 2017, the Taiwan CDC Director-General Chou Jih-haw (周志浩) visited the Taipei Municipal WanHua Kindergarten today to promote flu vaccination by performing the “Flu Shot Superman Exercise” with the students. Taiwan CDC Director-General Chou pointed out that toddlers attending kindergartens have more opportunities to interact with others, which makes them the high-risk groups for flu infections. Flu vaccination is an effective way to boost the immunity of the receivers and protect the other family members around them from infection. Additionally, this year, Taiwan CDC has expanded its government-funded flu vaccination target population to include “parents with infants under 6-month of age” and “kindergarten staffs and caregiver professionals”. Lu Hui-ling (呂慧玲), Principal of the Taipei Municipal WanHua Kindergarten, stated that taking care of a child affected by flu is a hard work for both the parents and kindergarten staff. Therefore, receiving the flu vaccine is the best way to prevent kindergarten students from becoming infected. Furthermore, parents with children under 6-month of age are also recommended to get vaccinated as soon as they can to keep themselves and the people around them safe from flu infections. Autumn and winter are the flu season in Taiwan, and the infection rate reaches its peak before the Lunar New Year. Infants are more vulnerable to flu. Moreover, the best way to increase immunity against flu is by vaccination. It usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that protect against infection. Therefore, October to November is the most appropriate time to get vaccinated. For children aged 6 months through 8 years, it is recommended that they receive their 2nd dose of vaccine 4 weeks after their first shots. It is also recommended that children who have not received vaccination to do so as soon as possible to ward off infection.
