Vladimir Chulano, a senior specialist in infectious diseases at the Russian Ministry of Health and a professor at Sechenov University, told kp.ru.
According to the Russian media, the expert stressed the importance of flu vaccines. He believes that the flu should be vaccinated, especially when the body begins to weaken with the onset of cold weather.
"This year's vaccination campaign should start in early September. Influenza vaccines have not been shown to be effective in preventing the next wave of coronavirus infection. However, it cannot be completely ruled out, "the expert said.
