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!

– Including non-HTR groups
4. 1:6 Hard to reach
• Delayed diagnosis
• ⅓ all infectious cases
• ½ cases lost to follow up
• 30% DRUG RESISTANT
5. Flawed assumptions
1. Sick people seek healthcare
Early diagnosis
1. Patients follow medical
advice
Complete treatment
6. What we do
1. Active case finding (MXU)
2. Case management support
3. Locate and re-engage LFU patients
4. Link prison health and TB services

6. Peer Education programme
7. Specialist accommodation (Olallo)
7. MXU
• Screen 8-10,000 per annum
• Rolling pan-London six month programme (winter and summer circuits)
• Target sites identified in London
• Hostels, Emergency shelters, Prison
• Day centres / Homeless drop-in / Soup kitchens
• Community drug and alcohol projects
10. Primary purpose
• To find undetected TB and prevent onward
transmission - targeted screening, outbreak management
– Refers approx. 1% for further TB investigations
– 1 in 4 of those referred start TB treatment
– Overall detection rate of approx. 300 per 100,000
11. Primary purpose
• To protect frontline staff teams from TB
• To raise awareness about TB and link allied
services with local NHS providers
(Collaboration and Integration)
12. • 10,000 screens per year
• Detection rate 250 per 100,000
• 1 in 4 referred start TB treatment
• Two-thirds less likely to be infectious
17. TB in London
• Highest rates of TB in Western Europe [1]
• 3,500 new cases a year - More cases annually than
Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Netherlands and Norway
combined [1]
• 10% of cases are now drug resistant [2]
• Significant increase in MDRTB [2]

21. Conclusions
• Appropriate accommodation is prerequisite to
TB treatment
• Intensive psychosocial care changes lives
• Inter-agency collaboration to meet unmet
needs
• London needs hostel based intermediate care
beds for TB patients with high health and
social care needs - likely to increase
• Financial and public health arguments stack up
