Talk to General Practitioner on Influvac Alternatives

Asking For Other, Male 65, Attock

My uncle is type 2 diabetic and heart patient. Treated with two stents 02 years back. Doctor suggested him to take vaccination to avoid flue. After 3 years of vaccination, he is again suffering from flue and cough. I tried to trace vaccination but forgot name and a local doctor prescribed "influvac". Please suggest if "Influvac" is good for long term flue prevention or is there any other vaccination? Thanks
