Influenza is an acute respiratory disease caused by influenza virus, and high-risk individuals such as the elderly and young children are generally more susceptible. According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centre for Health Protection, in addition to the traditional "trivalent" influenza vaccine, it is also recommended that those in need receive the latest "quadrivalent" influenza vaccine to prevent more influenza viruses. The government's immunization programme in Hong Kong will also use the "quadric" influenza vaccine.
