Intranasal Flu Vaccine: A New Development Highlighted at a Scientific Event in the UAE

Prominent medical professionals participated in a scientific event organized by the American Academy of Pediatrics in collaboration with the Emirates Pediatric Society to present the latest advancements in influenza vaccination.

Dr. Entisar Al Hammadi, President of the Emirates Pediatric Society, explained that the newly introduced influenza vaccine stands out for its nasal spray delivery, replacing traditional needle injections. This innovation makes vaccination simpler, faster, and completely painless.
She noted that the vaccine is currently approved for individuals aged 2 to 49, while ongoing studies aim to expand its use to other age groups in the future. Dr.  Ahmad Al Hammadi clarified that the current age limitation relates to weaker immune responses among the elderly, as the use of live attenuated viruses may occasionally trigger stronger symptoms compared to inactivated injectable vaccines.
She emphasized the importance of carefully balancing benefits and potential risks in all medical recommendations, and highlighted the need for annual vaccination due to the influenza virus’s tendency to mutate and change its form each season.

  • Following an ameloblastoma diagnosis and surgical removal of a large tumour from his jaw in 2022, the patient was left with significant difficulties including speaking, smiling, eating, and disfigured facial appearance.
  • Using advanced 3D technology, Dr. Saman Fallahi and his team at Medcare Dentofaces successfully restored the patient’s oral function & facial aesthetics by creating a custom-made solution.

Dubai – September 6th, 2025: Following a benign tumor surgery, a 46-year-old patient had been struggling with a facial deformity for two years that not only took away his ability to speak and chew but also to smile. He has finally recovered all these abilities with the help of an advanced jaw prosthesis developed at Medcare Dentofaces with the latest prosthodontic technology.  

Nemr Mazen Nimer Altaher, from Jordan, was diagnosed with ameloblastoma, a rare but benign tumor of the upper jaw two years ago. In 2022, although the tumor was removed with life saving surgery, it left him with a huge facial defect that impacted his life greatly. Nemr stated, “I had survived the tumor, but I felt like I had lost myself. Eating food was a challenge, I could not participate in conversations, and smiling became something I actively avoided.”
