An 11-year-old child was diagnosed with the flu and was hospitalized since Monday morning at the Matei Balș National Institute of Infectious Diseases, a university professor said. Dr. Victoria Arama.
“We have our first case, this morning (Monday), an 11-year-old child, who came from a county next to Bucharest. It was surprising, with a fever, that it was the flu. So we have the first hospital case”, said the university professor. Dr. Victoria Aramă, chief physician at Institute “Matei Balș”..
Dr. Aramă insists that the flu vaccine is necessary, because the flu season started earlier and it increases the risk of serious complications, even in people without co-morbidities.
“There are very severe forms of influenza, in people up to 50 years of age, without many or no comorbidities, an unvaccinated group, with severe disease, usually with pneumococcus, which led to hospitalization, sometimes staying there the ATI”, he said. university professor Dr. Bras. at the conference with the theme “The new epidemic season: five threats to health. How do we respond?”, organized by DCNews .
Vaccination Law
Dr. Simin-Aysel Florescu, manager of the Clinical Hospital for Infectious and Tropical Diseases “Victor Babeş” from Bucharest, believes that “vaccination law is necessary to cross the threshold of definitions (…) because, if we ‘ talk about public health, vaccination is not yet an individual choice”.
“In most cases, parents who do not vaccinate their children avoid the subject altogether vaccination. All our information goes past them. And besides, if the child survives and is well, it is further proof that he is better that way, that he will be vaccinated naturally, which is irresponsible, because, in this way, we end up with incidental events and several complex cases “. stressed the doctor Simin-Aysel Florescu.
Doctors emphasize the importance of vaccination in the context where the cold season comes with the flu, but also with other challenges, including: pneumonia, meningitis, whooping cough, virus respiratory syncytial, Covid 19.
