This winter, the number of pediatric patients suffering from influenza has increased sharply. Some cases have become severe and developed a serious complication called "influenza encephalopathy," resulting in hospitalization.

Vaccination is an effective way to prevent influenza and influenza encephalopathy.* If you have not yet received the vaccine, please apply for it at our clinic's reception desk. We also accept same-day applications.
