Who is interested in the fact how the "Influenza" activity developed in the last days and weeks, thus like "the advance" of the viruses runs: .


Who can be inoculated regularly one time or better twice annually, knows and estimates the value. Who was not ever inoculated, it should consider itself and now participate. The number of infections reduces clearly. For the benefit at quality of life you should suffer the small injection.

In particular children and young people as well as older humans over 60 are particularly endangered, here are find heavy illnesses with complications up to deaths. Nevertheless dies annually more humans by the flu, than by traffic accidents, about 10 to 20 thousand.

Urgently the inoculation is recommended particularly persons with increased endangerment due to a basic illness and/or with expositional risks, thus e.g. to your physician or a nurse.

Since the flu vaccine in each spring and autumn is manufactured up-to-date of the Pharmaindustrie, it is not for an unlimited period available, it is produced quasi on order. Each physician orders its estimated need, supplementory orders becomes often problematic.
For groups of risks and also older humans over 65 years should to be used a  particularly power-vaccine (Fluad®); in this vaccine a adjuvans is contained that lets rise more strongly the immune answer, thus the anti-body production.
Effect: Illness rates are lowered opposite the "normal" vaccine around 20 %.

Let inoculate also against pneumonia (Pneumokokken) best at the same time, this combination increase your protection further clearly. And: At infections with Pneumokokken die annually in Germany about 12,000 humans, 80 to 135 thousand need a hospitalization. An inoculation can be performed starting from completed 2nd age and should absolutely starting from that 60th age and by risk patients to be noticed. The inoculation is every 6 years (with children under 10 years every 3 years) to repeat.

Carry for inoculation your inoculation passport forward and let examine whether your inoculation status is still current. It is urgently recommended to out-sleep before the inoculation.

Announce therefore in time, you know:


Unfortunately expose themselves still over 80 % of the population unprotected the seasonal attack of the flu viruses. Even with the risk patients and older humans the inoculation rates are below 50 %. Against Pneumokokken are from this group only each 7th adult inoculated.

And if the flu already got you?

Also then there is still hope to avoid the worst. Within 48 hours can be helped still very effectively. Your physician prescribes you a medicine, a Neuraminidasehemmer (Oseltamivir = Tamifir®), from which you must take 7 days daily 75 mg; however only starting from that 13th age. This so called post exposition prophylaxis is effective in 80 to 90 %.


Can one protect oneself otherwise from flu? Yes.

Daily 2 tablets Zinkorotat and in addition a drinking ampul Selenase (selenium) - together about 2 € daily - and you can forget colds; also your risk that a flu virus settles with you, is clearly reduced. Footstep under this therapy nevertheless a infection up, the memories should be filled up, doubles the respective dose for 2 to 3 weeks.
