Who Should Get It: Universal vaccination is recommended, but it is especially critical for vulnerable groups, young children, pregnant women, older adults, and those with underlying chronic health conditions.
Children's Dosing: Children under 9 years old who are receiving the flu vaccine for the first time require two doses, spaced at least four weeks apart.
Timing: The flu vaccine takes about two weeks to provide full protection. It is ideally administered before the peak of the flu season to allow the body to build immunity.
Side Effects: Common side effects include mild soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site, as well as minor body aches or low-grade fever. It is important to know that you cannot get the flu from an inactivated flu sho
The emotional closeness and the bond between mother and baby during breastfeeding are very special. It is no wonder, then, that mothers are reluctant to place their trust in a breast pump. But when direct breastfeeding is not possible or the mother is experiencing difficulties, switching to a breast pump might be very helpful.
Based on clinical research, Medela developed the breast pump Symphony that mimics the natural sucking behaviour of infants at the mother’s breast to initiate milk production in the first few days after birth and to optimise milk output during established lactation.
The hospital-grade, multi-user Symphony breast pump with its technical features and accessories is based on clinical research and is designed to support mothers to meet their individual needs throughout their lactation journey.
Symphony features Medela’s initiation technology and 2-Phase Expression technology, comes with overflow protection and is equipped for double and single pumping.
Supports mothers to effectively initiate, build and maintain an adequate milk production.
Helps initiate lactation when using the INITIATE program
Assists mothers to build and maintain their milk production when using the MAINTAIN program
