Every year, flu breaks into a home and each guest is difficult to avoid. The best, of course, is prevent it before its onset.

If a child has been vaccinated for diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough should not be vaccinated until after a minimum of seven days. Pregnant women at risk can also be vaccinated, but only from the first trimester of gestation, and with the approval of their obstetrician.
