Receiving influenza vaccination may increase the risk of other respiratory viruses, a phenomenon known as virus interference.
Vaccine derived virus interference was significantly associated with coronavirus and human metapneumovirus; however, significant protection with vaccination was associated not only with most influenza viruses, but also parainfluenza, RSV, and non-influenza virus coinfections.
vaccination with both the current and previous year’s seasonal vaccines, however, was significantly associated with greater fine-aerosol shedding in unadjusted and adjusted models (P < 0.01). In adjusted models, we observed 6.3 (95% CI 1.9–21.5) times more aerosol shedding among cases with vaccination in the current and previous season compared with having no vaccination in those two seasons
Many travel vaccines require multiple shots or take time to become fully effective. But some multiple-dose vaccines (like hepatitis A) can still give you partial protection after just one dose. Some can also be given on an “accelerated schedule,” meaning doses are given in a shorter period of time.

let me go ask China if this is true
The flu vaccination is formulated new each year to prevent the strain or strains of flu that are anticipated to be prevalent in the coming flu season. The shot must be given annually to maintain effectiveness. Some years it works better than others

Everyone at my work got sick with covid. Age range 20-85 and no one got the flu shot. I just think it is highly contagious in close quarters.

International travel requires one to be updated on their vaccination schedule prior to departure.

I have a friend that is in upper Managemnt for one of the largest drug supply companies in the south east, he will not submit to any vaccines. That about all I need to know.

Since when?
In the last 6 years, my wife and I have traveled from the USA to India 3 times, and to Ukraine once. When we went to Ukraine, we took our then 3 year old never vaccinated daughter.
The subject of vaccines never came up. Ever.

I have a really good friend who is the CEO of the largest drug company in the world and he always receives his flu vaccination every year. That's about all I need to know.

Do you recommend people take medical advice from CEOs?

Do you believe every post from someone who references an unverifiable "friend" ?

Did you fly to China or Italy?
Are you over the age of 65?
Your right not every country requires vaccines.
Most elderly travelers would think it wise to follow the travel vaccine recommendation. That generation is a lot less skeptical about vaccines.

Chlamydia pneumoniae Infection and Inflammatory Diseases

Chlamydia pneumoniae, an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen, has long been investigated as a potential developmental or exacerbating factor in various pathologies. Its unique lifestyle and ability to disseminate throughout the host while persisting in relative safety from the immune response has placed this obligate intracellular pathogen in
Chlamydia pneumoniae is a species of Chlamydia, an obligate intracellular bacterium that infects humans and is a major cause of pneumonia. It was known as the Taiwan acute respiratory agent (TWAR) from the names of the two original isolates – Taiwan (TW-183) and an acute respiratory isolate designated AR-39. Briefly, it was known as Chlamydophila pneumoniae, and that name is used as an alternate in some sources. In some cases, to avoid confusion, both names are given.
