According to him, during the spread of the coronavirus, it is especially important to timely vaccinate all citizens from risk groups in order to "reduce the burden from the spread and severe course of influenza and the overlap of infections."
“People over 60 years of age, people with chronic non-infectious diseases, pregnant women, as well as young children (from 0 to 6 years old) are at increased risk of a severe course of influenza,” TASS quotes him.
He added that these groups of citizens need to be vaccinated against influenza in the first place.
As the portal URA.RU reported earlier, doctor Maxim Starodubtsev, head of the public organization for the protection of the rights of consumers of medical services "Health", spoke about the rules of vaccination.
