Allergist-immunologist Vladimir Bolibok told who needs to be vaccinated against influenza this year. According to him, the vaccine is safe and gives a 75-80% probability that a person will not get infected, and a 100% guarantee that the disease will pass in a relatively mild form.
Getting vaccinated against the flu is especially important for people at risk – those who often come into contact with other people: public transport workers, government officials, doctors and teachers.
The risk group also includes patients with chronic diseases, diabetes mellitus, overweight, cardiological and bronchopulmonary diseases, pregnant women and women planning to have children in the near future, as well as the elderly.
The specialist explained that these people are more vulnerable to influenza than others. As a result of the disease, they may have undesirable health effects.
In women in position, for example, pregnancy is sometimes terminated. Or the fetus may develop abnormalities in development, — explained he NEWS.ru.
Elderly people often face an exacerbation of chronic diseases due to the flu, as their bodies cannot always cope with the “double attack”.
The immunologist also spoke about the flu vaccine. He said that she was safe, and therefore there was no point in risking her health and abandoning her.
