Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.

DUBAI // Contrary to popular opinion, most Muslims gain weight during Ramadan – by gorging
themselves nightly after abstaining from food and drink between sunrise and sunset and
refraining from physical activity.
To counteract the weight gain associated with the holy month, the Ministry of Health has
launched an intensive four-day campaign – Ahlan Ramadan – to provide information on
maintaining physical health amid the rigours of fasting then feasting, the official news agency,
WAM, reported yesterday.
“Typically, we have noticed a trend in increased obesity and many [incidents involving] diabetes
during the holy month because of irregular and inappropriate eating after breaking the fast,” said
Dr Wedad al Maidor, director of the PHC Dubai health centres and the head of the tobacco
control team at the MoH.
“[Ahlan Ramadan] will ensure that maximum numbers of residents are targeted to disseminate
information about the appropriate way to eat and stay healthy,” she said. The public education
campaign will consist of lectures and interactive sessions presented by medical experts at
selected business places, social associations and labour camps across Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.
Dr Ali bin Shakar, director general of the MoH, said: “The fast of Ramadan has spiritual
significance as well as physical effects. Long hours of fasting may take a toll on the participant’s
health.”
A team of dieticians and chefs from BiteRite will also demonstrate a variety of healthy recipes
that can be used during Ramadan.
