Flu jab or flu vaccination

Anyone who wants to prevent flu is welcome at one of the KLM Health Services Travel Clinics for a flu jab. Applicable when you are not considered to belong to a risk group (such as seniors and people with a medical indication) but do want protection against the flu.

As a self-employed person, for example, you do not want to be struck down by the flu during that important assignment. Do you come into contact with a lot of people during your professional activities? This may also be a reason to decide to reduce the risk of a flu infection by getting a flu jab.

Got the jab last year? Get it again this year!

This year's flu jab often protects against (partly) different flu viruses than last year's. If you got the flu jab last year, your body will have produced antibodies against it.

However, the viruses circulating this year are constructed differently, which means you need new protection. Moreover, the jab only offers protection for about half a year.

When to make an appointment?

You can get vaccinated against the flu from the end of October. It takes about 2 weeks after the injection until you have produced sufficient antibodies.

These antibodies protect you for about half a year. The flu mainly occurs between December and March in the Netherlands.
