Recovery from influenza is a gradual process that extends beyond the acute febrile phase. While the fever typically subsides within a few days, the body requires time to repair the damage to the respiratory epithelium and restore systemic homeostasis. Prevention remains the most powerful tool in the medical arsenal against influenza. At Liv Hospital, we advocate for a comprehensive prevention strategy that centers on annual vaccination, rigorous hygiene practices, and community awareness to protect the most vulnerable among us.
The recovery timeline varies by individual.
The influenza vaccine is the most effective way to prevent the flu and its complications.
Several vaccine formulations are available to cater to different populations.
Non-pharmaceutical interventions are critical for breaking the chain of transmission.
In specific situations, antiviral medications are used to prevent influenza.
Maintaining a healthy immune system improves the body’s ability to resist infection and respond to vaccination.
Research is ongoing to develop a “universal” flu vaccine.
At Liv Hospital, our commitment to respiratory health extends beyond treatment to comprehensive prevention and recovery. Our vaccination clinics provide access to the latest vaccine formulations tailored to age and risk profile. We offer specialized post-viral recovery support for patients dealing with lingering fatigue or respiratory issues. Our infectious disease specialists stay at the forefront of global surveillance data to guide our local protocols. Whether it is managing a severe case in our ICU or advising a family on prevention, Liv Hospital stands as a partner in health, dedicated to minimizing the impact of influenza on our community through science, care, and education.

No, the flu shot contains inactivated (killed) virus or proteins that cannot cause disease; any mild symptoms afterwards are just the immune system responding to the vaccine.
It takes about 2 weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop and provide protection against influenza virus infection.
Yes, it is possible, but vaccination usually makes the illness much milder and significantly reduces the risk of serious complications and hospitalization.
Adults are contagious from one day before symptoms start until 5-7 days after becoming sick; children and people with weakened immune systems may be infectious for longer.
Herd immunity occurs when enough people are vaccinated that the virus has difficulty spreading, protecting those who cannot be vaccinated, like newborns or the severely immunocompromised.
