Paediatricians are urging parents to get their children vaccinated against the flu as soon as possible, ideally before wintertime. Medics see the maximum number of infections between August and February — a period widely regarded as the ‘flu season’.

With Dubai schools set to return to full in-person learning from October 3, parents are expressing concern about their children’s health.
