Vladimir Nikiforov, a doctor of medical sciences, said in an interview that refusing to be vaccinated against the flu could lead to both influenza and coronavirus infections at the same time.
The head of the Department of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology of the Russian National Research Medical University named after Pirogov said that the flu vaccine is completely safe.
"If you are not vaccinated against the flu, you are more likely to be infected with both the flu and the coronavirus. Protect your social distance by wearing a medical mask. At the same time, all conditions must be created in the workplace to reduce the likelihood of infection, "he said.
