Canadian International School in collaboration with Aster CMI Hospital organized one of its kind drive through flu clinic.
“It was so convenient to be able to stop off to the CIS campus to get my yearly flu shot and not having to wait in a line or enter a hospital really kept my mind at ease. My entire family got the flu shot today so we can stay healthy during this uncertain time.”- said R. Mehra, CIS Parent.
“Influenza is a potentially serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and rarely even death. Every flu season is different, and influenza infection can affect people differently and adversely ; in times of COVID pandemic, it therefore becomes even more relevant to protect ourselves against a predictable seasonal infection. An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to help protect against flu. Vaccination has been shown to have many benefits including reducing the risk of flu illnesses, hospitalizations and even the risk of flu-related death in children.”- said Dr. Chetan Ginigeri, Lead Consultant, Department of Paediatrics, Aster CMI Hospital.
