Flu and pneumonia vaccines
Hi all, this is a question out of curiosity. We've all been hearing about Wuhan Coronavirus rapidly spreading in the world. I think it's inevitable that sooner or later it'll come to India. In that case what preventive steps can we take to protect our loved ones and ourselves.
My mother 76, a breast cancer patient who's cancer is in remission. My father is 77. I have 4 years old daughter and a nephew and a niece who are 9 and 5. Are there any flu and pneumonia vaccines we can give them to reduce their chance of developing pneumonia due to the new virus? Should I give them those vaccines regardless of this pandemic?
