Ana Bertone, La Pampa’s provincial epidemiology director, said that during the winter months the province has seen “extremely severe cases of influenza.”
In a conversation with the reporter of EL AIRE DE LA MÑANA (RADIO NOTICIAS 99.5), the health official spoke about various topics related to the time of year and gave details related to the COVID-19 vaccination.
The Ministry of Health recommends that people get the new booster dose of the coronavirus vaccine, especially for high-risk groups, people over 50 years old and pregnant women.
The requirement applies to everyone, especially those at high risk of serious illness: those over 50, pregnant women, people with diabetes, heart disease, tumors or respiratory problems, and obesity. Some.
Meanwhile, people under 50 years of age with comorbidities, as well as those at higher risk of exposure (health personnel) and strategic functional groups, are included in the medium-risk group for developing severe Covid-19 infection symptoms.
Finally, annual Covid-19 booster vaccination is recommended for people considered to be at low risk of complications, i.e. those under 50 years of age without comorbidities.
“It’s more about the flu than it is about COVID-19.”
“Demand for coronavirus vaccinations has indeed declined, but it is important that those at risk update their vaccination plans,” Bertone said, adding that “more people will die from the flu than from COVID-19 this year.” There’s more.”
-Has anyone else died from COVID-19?
-We didn’t have a rescue, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
-What vaccinations did they receive in La Pampa?
-Currently Moderna and Pfizer.
-Do I need to make an appointment?
-Now, the situation is different, the idea is that they can be used without turning like any other vaccine.
-Is there COVID-19 in La Pampa these months?
-We have had this experience too. It’s like viruses take turns. We have serious hospitalizations for the flu, but not as many coronavirus cases.
