Seasonal Flu 2023/2024

vaccine

The flu returns every winter season and affects many. For some it can be directly life-threatening and for others it means fever and discomfort, changed plans and stressful sick leave from work. There are vaccines against influenza and by vaccinating yourself you reduce the risk of contracting the flu and avoid complications.

 
Interval

It takes 2 to 3 weeks after vaccination before you have protection against the disease. The protection then lasts for 6-12 months, a shorter time in the elderly and people with a lowered immune system. It may therefore be good for the elderly not to get vaccinated too early in the season. By vaccinating yourself, you reduce the risk of contracting severe flu, having serious complications, and you reduce the risk of secondary diseases by about 50 percent.

TBE

vaccine against tick

TBE – Tick Borne Encephalitis – is a viral disease that is transmitted from animals to humans via ticks. TBE can cause severe inflammation of the brain and meninges, and as many as a third of those who contract it suffer long-term or permanent problems. There is no curative treatment, but there are preventive and proven vaccines that protect against disease if you follow your vaccination schedule.

 
Interval

Our doctors and nurses at Medical follow the recommendations jointly drawn up by the country’s infection control doctors.

1-49 years of age
The recommendation is 3 doses within the first year followed by top-up doses for continued good protection against TBE. You are recommended to take dose 2 one month after the first dose and dose 3 is taken 5-12 months after dose 2. You then top up with top-up doses where the fourth dose is taken 3 years after dose 3. Then you top up with a dose every 5: e year to secure your protection against  TBE.

50+ or ​​people more immunocompromised
The recommendation is that you take dose 2 one month after dose 1 and then dose 3, two months after dose 2. The fourth dose is taken five to twelve months after the third dose and the fifth dose is taken 3 years after the fourth dose. You are then advised to take a booster dose every five years to maintain protection against TBE.

Zostavax

vaccine against shingles

Zostavax is a vaccine used to prevent shingles (herpes zoster) and zoster-associated postherpetic neuralgia (PHN); the long-term nerve pain that follows shingles.

The vaccine is approved for those aged 50 and over, but due to uncertainty regarding boosting, we normally recommend the vaccine for those aged 60 and over.

 

Interval

The vaccine is given in a single dose in the upper arm. If applicable, one year must have passed since the last episode of shingles, i.e. after the blisters have disappeared.

Shingrix

vaccine against shingles

Shingrix is ​​a modern shingles vaccine that provides very good protection against shingles disease and complications after the infection with nerve pain – so-called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).

 
Interval

The vaccine is given in two doses two months apart, and after the two doses you have effective disease protection.

Pneumovax

vaccine against pneumonia

This vaccine primarily protects against what is called invasive pneumococcal disease, i.e. the blood poisoning that can occur after pneumonia, especially in certain risk groups.

 
Interval

Pneumovax is given in one dose and protects for about 5-6 years. A top-up dose is then recommended.

The vaccine is administered as an injection into the upper arm muscle.

Prevenar 13

vaccine against pneumonia

Prevenar 13 is a conjugated polysaccharide vaccine that is used in the vaccination of people at very high risk of severe pneumococcal infection.

 
Interval

The vaccine is given in one dose into the upper arm muscle.

Boostrix

vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough

This vaccine is included as part of the childhood vaccination program and should be topped up at 20-year intervals, to ensure that your protection against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough is complete. This means that it becomes relevant for most people when they turn 30, plan to have children or are pregnant.
