The Best Time is NOW

With flu season approaching and vaccines already available, there's no better time than the present to protect your family. The 2025-26 flu vaccines have arrived in Noida and Greater Noida, and our expert team at Child Care Clinic is ready to safeguard your child's health.

When Should You Get Your Child Vaccinated?

Ideal Timing Window

Best Time: May - October

Optimal window for vaccination before flu season peaks

Latest Recommended: By end of November

Still effective but earlier is better for maximum protection

Never Too Late

Vaccination continues throughout flu season as long as viruses are circulating (perennial outbreaks in India)

Why These Months Matter

The flu vaccine takes approximately 2 weeks to build full protection in your child's immune system. Getting vaccinated by November ensures maximum protection before peak flu season (typically December through March) but can happen anytime of the year.

Age Guidelines: Who Needs What?

Infants & Toddlers (6 months - 8 years)

  • First-time recipients: May need 2 doses, spaced 4 weeks apart
  • Previously vaccinated: Usually just 1 annual dose
  • Dosage: 0.5 mL for children

Special Considerations

  • Children under 6 months cannot receive flu vaccines
  • Pregnant mothers can protect newborns through vaccination during pregnancy

Common Parent Questions Answered

Can my child get flu and COVID or other vaccines together?
Yes! It's safe and recommended to receive both vaccines simultaneously.
What if my child has egg allergies?
Good news! Children with egg allergies can safely receive any age-appropriate flu vaccine.
Will the vaccine make my child sick?
No! Flu vaccines cannot cause flu illness. Mild side effects like soreness are normal and indicate a healthy immune response.
"As a pediatrician and PICU specialist, I've witnessed first-hand the severe complications flu can cause in children. The 2025-26 vaccine is safe, effective, and readily available. I recommend vaccination for all children 6 months and older without contraindications. Don't let preventable illness affect your child's health, education, or quality of life."
