The coexistence of the coronavirus and flu virus, it can be deadly. The risk of death is more than double in the case of coinfection. For this reason, this year’s vaccination campaign wants to reach 75% of those over 65.
César Carballo, Emergency Deputy of the Ramón y Cajal Hospital, points out that in addition to those over 65 years of age, they must vaccinate all those with risk factors What immunosuppressed, bronchopathic, or those with cardiopulmonary disease, pregnant and premature between 6 months and 2 years. Likewise, as a general rule, health personnel should be vaccinated against influenza.
The vaccine is not one hundred percent effective in protecting against Covid as shown by cases such as that of Jaime Jimenez. He contracted Covid at the age of 43 after getting Jansen’s vaccine and spent 6 weeks in ICU. About to be discharged after 3 months of fighting in the hospital, he now doubts if he should get a flu shot. César points out that in Jaime’s case he is one of the people who has to be vaccinated. “We should all get vaccinated but people with more risk factors have to get vaccinated,” he explains.
Clarifies his controversial statements on La Palma
César Carballo has spoken out about his controversial statements in which he recommended to the palm trees affected by the Cumbre Vieja volcano to come to Madrid for a few days to free themselves from the stress of the volcano. “What I recommend is to get out of that environment a bit, there are already initiatives in which they are taking the children to the west part of the island which is where the volcano is least noticeable, “he says. it’s hard to live with the roar and tremors and what the emergency room colleagues see are psychiatric and psychological problems of those affected “which is the problem they will have in the short, medium and long term.”
