Live Well platform urges healthcare workers to get flu vaccine

Saudi health platform Live Well is urging healthcare professionals to get the seasonal flu vaccine. The platform argues that vaccination is both an ethical and professional responsibility that safeguards practitioners, patients, and visitors. Live Well posted on X, calling on healthcare workers to get vaccinated and serve as examples of prevention.

The platform notes that healthcare work exposes practitioners to a higher risk of infection. Receiving the seasonal influenza vaccine not only lowers the chance of catching the flu or its severity, but also helps curb the spread of infection to patients and visitors.
