Influenza Vaccination Programme

Influenza Types

Influenza (i.e. flu) is caused by various viruses. Nowadays, three types of flu could be found: A, B & C. Among them, A is the most common one. In Hong Kong, H1N1 and H3N2 could be seen very often. They are spread via the respiratory tract, predominantly by airborne or droplet spread or through direct contact with patients' secretions. Patients usually present with fever, headache, muscle ache, blocked or running nose, sore-throat, cough and tiredness, etc.

Prevention is better than cure. To prevent your staff to be infected by these viruses, many companies would arrange the flu vaccination for your staff and dependants around October & November every year. In order to cater for clients' need, HMMP Ltd would have the special offer for the flu vaccination this year.
