We already know that antibodies people develop in the wake of a coronavirus infection, seem to decay over time, there is a good chance that any coronavirus vaccine will be given frequently, perhaps on an annual basis to provide adequate protection. Unlike the flu, Covid-19 showed no evidence of being seasonal. Whether the weather is hot, cold, dry or wet, this coronavirus is highly contagious. But like the flu, it spreads easily from one person to another, and it is contagious even before it becomes infected, and it is also transmitted by infected people before they get the disease.
Another fact worth noting: the flu vaccine No and can’t The cause of the flu. Some people may get a fever reaction to a flu shot, but it may be part of the body’s efforts to get an immune response. Or, Dr. Osterholm said, people who get the flu within a few days of being immunized may actually have another respiratory error or may be infected with the flu virus when they start. The flu virus usually has an incubation period of one to four days before symptoms develop, and the vaccine takes about two weeks to become fully protective.
However, even if people get the flu after proper vaccination, the disease is likely to become significantly less severe. This can also be with the coronavirus vaccine.
Experts are currently concerned about the possible confluence of flu epidemics this winter and the Covid-19 epidemic, which could easily strip the medical care system and recreate the shortage of hospital beds and personal protective equipment. Pneumonia is an unusual complication of the flu that increases the burden of hospitalization required for people with life-threatening coronavirus infections.
Experts are also concerned about people who get the flu and think it is Covid-19, get medical care and a test that could inadvertently bring them against this horrible virus and cause a lack of tests. Both diseases can cause similar symptoms: fever, cough, shortness of breath and fatigue which can be extreme.
Another worrying possibility is that people who get the flu are more likely to contract the coronavirus and develop serious disease.
Flu complications can be serious, even with the increased risk of covid-19. These include bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections and worsening of chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes and heart failure. Others at increased risk of serious flu-related complications include people aged 65 and over, pregnant women and children under 5.
