1. Why Is Annual Influenza Vaccination Necessary?
Seasonal influenza is a highly contagious respiratory infectious disease that can spread rapidly, particularly in settings with frequent close contact, such as offices, schools, and other communal environments. Influenza viruses are transmitted primarily through respiratory droplets and particles released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Infection may also occur through contact with virus-contaminated surfaces, followed by touching the eyes, nose, or mouth. [1][2]
Annual influenza vaccination is recommended because influenza viruses continually undergo changes. Therefore, regular vaccination helps the body develop an immune response that is better matched to the influenza strains expected to circulate during the upcoming flu season. [1][4]
Annual influenza vaccination offers several important benefits:
- Reduces the risk of illness and complications: Helps lower the risk of influenza infection, hospitalization, and serious influenza-related complications.
- Maintains immune protection: Helps the body develop a new immune response, providing additional protection as immunity from previous vaccinations wanes.
- Contributes to community protection: Helps reduce the risk of transmission within families, workplaces, and the wider community, particularly among people at higher risk of developing complications. [3][4]

Proactively getting vaccinated against influenza every year is not only a way to take care of one’s own health but also a demonstration of responsibility for protecting those around us. This is the message that NAVIVA Group aims to promote through its annual vaccination program for employees.
2. Understanding Seasonal Influenza
Seasonal influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus. It can affect people of all ages and spread rapidly within the community. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), seasonal influenza causes approximately 1 billion cases worldwide each year, including around 3-5 million cases of severe illness. [1]
Transmission
Influenza viruses are primarily transmitted through respiratory particles released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Transmission may also occur through contaminated hands or surfaces when a person touches them and then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth. [4]
Common Symptoms
People with influenza typically experience a relatively sudden onset of symptoms, including:
- Fever or chills.
- Cough and sore throat.
- Runny or stuffy nose.
- Headache, muscle pain, and body aches.
- Fatigue and malaise.
Symptoms typically last for approximately one week; however, a cough may persist for longer. [1][2][4]
Most people with influenza recover, but the disease can still lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia and severe infections, or worsen underlying medical conditions. Groups at higher risk of complications include young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with chronic conditions such as cardiovascular, respiratory, kidney, or liver diseases, as well as metabolic disorders.
3. NAVIVA Group’s Commitment to Vaccine Distribution
Annual influenza vaccination helps the body develop active immunity, contributing to a reduced risk of infection and serious influenza-related complications. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend annual influenza vaccination for eligible groups, particularly those at higher risk of developing complications. [1][3]
With over 22 years of experience in the importation, marketing, and distribution of vaccines and medical biological products, NAVIVA Group remains committed to supplying quality vaccines and contributing to the community’s disease prevention needs.

Among the vaccines in its distribution portfolio, NAVIVA offers Influvac, a seasonal influenza vaccine manufactured by Abbott Biologicals B.V. (the Netherlands), part of the Abbott Group.
In addition to vaccine distribution, NAVIVA places emphasis on health education and communication, encouraging people to proactively seek information and adopt appropriate disease prevention measures. The annual influenza vaccination program for employees is also a way for NAVIVA to put this commitment into practice within its own organization. NAVIVA believes that caring for the health of the community begins with caring for the health of every individual within the company. This is one of the values NAVIVA seeks to maintain and nurture as it works toward building a positive workplace where everyone feels valued and cared for, with greater opportunities to remain engaged and grow over the long term.
