A medical expert, infectious disease specialist Nazrin Mustafayeva gave advice on the seasonal flu virus.
According to Gadin.Net, citing publika.az, the doctor said that acute respiratory diseases occur in autumn and winter.
"There are many infections that cause acute respiratory diseases and diseases with similar symptoms. The most dangerous of these is the influenza virus, called the flu. However, we have vaccines to prevent this virus. In terms of vaccination statistics, the vaccination rate is 50 percent in European countries, 40-50 percent in the United Kingdom, and 60-70 percent in the United States.
If respiratory infections are added while the coronavirus pandemic is still ongoing around the world, it could double the course of the disease. That's why everyone should be vaccinated, "said the infectious disease specialist.
The doctor also clarified the information that the vaccines contain heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum:
"The flu vaccine does not contain mercury or aluminum. If so, this is to ensure the sterility of the vaccine and in very small quantities. The amount of aluminum and mercury we get from other foods is many times higher than the amount we get from the vaccine. ”
