Low Flu Vaccination Rates in India Despite Proven Benefits

Despite flu vaccines offering 40-60% protection and significantly reducing hospitalization risks, vaccination rates among the Indian population remain alarmingly low.

Health experts are urging the public to prioritize annual flu shots, especially as the country faces seasonal spikes that test the resilience of the healthcare system.

The government is being called upon to make affordable vaccines more accessible in major cities to prevent the spread of preventable respiratory illnesses during the monsoon.
