With the advent of the fall season, many people fear exposure to colds and influenza, as there is intense activity of viruses, in addition to activity of bacteria that may cause many problems. Dr. Mustafa Al-Muhammadi, General Director of Vaccination and Vaccination Centers, said that during the fall and winter seasons, virus strains that were active during the period begin to appear. Last year’s spring began to appear, meaning that the spring season is the period of activity of viruses and their appearance occurs in abundance in the fall and winter seasons, meaning that the spring period is an indicator of the activity of new strains of viruses that will appear in the winter season.
In addition to viruses, the Director General of Vaccination and Vaccination Centers explained in a special statement to “Youm Seven” that there are types of bacteria that are also active in the winter, including types that cause Pneumococcus Middle ear infections and meningitis, indicating the availability of serum against pneumococci to achieve the necessary protection.
