WHO SHOULD I HAVE A VACCINATION IN THE FIRST SECOND?
Influenza is threatening everyone ...
The flu due to a highly aggravating course is a big danger for everyone. Especially that it is highly contagious and causes multiple, dangerous post-influenza complications.
Therefore, every person who cares about health safety should get vaccinated against this disease.
Thanks to vaccination, he has the chance to avoid influenza and maintain his own health at a higher level. In addition, the vaccinated person will avoid the risk of getting close and much higher costs of treating influenza. It is also worth remembering that the disease usually deprives you of earnings and is not well seen in the workplace.
However, there are people with so-called increased risk:
1. Influenza
2. Dangerous post-influenza complications
To people oprofessionally increased risk of influenza is:
- working in health care; doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc.
- public service employees; teachers' drivers, kindergarten teachers, cashiers, salesmen, officials, journalists, craftspeople providing services, etc.
- people exposed to large temperature changes due to their profession (eg construction, municipal services, army, police) etc.
People aboutincreased risk of post-influenza complications is:
- infants and young children,
- people over 50 - 65 years old
- people suffering from chronic systemic diseases - cancer, asthma, diabetes and because of reduced immunity, e.g. after transplantation and during immunosuppressive treatment
Vaccinations are especially recommended for elderly people who have exceeded 60 years of age.
People of this age usually suffer from chronic heart and circulatory problems, lungs (cigarettes and lung disease), rheumatic diseases, liver and kidney diseases, etc. They have reduced immunity as a result of their illness and should avoid such a serious disease as flu. Vaccines are particularly indicated and very effective - in people over 70 and 80 years of age, due to the very high risk of influenza complications.
People at high risk due to reduced immunity
According to the WHO guidelines and the epidemiologists' experience, flu vaccines are recommended for all people at high risk because of their reduced resistance to disease. Belong to them:
- healthy children from 6 to 23 months of age, in whom the body's immunity is not yet developed
- persons over 65 years of age; recently, the 50-year limit is stressed, which means an increased risk of diseases that reduce influenza resistance and its complications,
- adults and children with chronic diseases, especially respiratory, circulatory system, kidney diseases, immunosuppressive persons (including persons with AIDS in this group) and during immunosuppressive therapy, patients with tumors, patients with diabetes, asthma, etc. / 1 /
