Influenza and pneumococcus mainly affect the elderly, those with more chronic diseases are much more vulnerable than the younger ones.
– said Lóránd Kreft-Horváth, InfoRádió’s GP.
People aged 60 to 65 are mostly at risk, including those with popular illnesses like high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease, asthma, or lung disease. This vaccine can protect against pneumonia as a complication of coronavirus, but pneumonia as a complication of influenza is also very common, especially pneumococcus in the elderly, so it may be worth using.
added.
For those who have never received a vaccine of this type, we recommend the conjugate vaccine, which protects against the 13 most common pneumococcal strains and does not need to be repeated, providing protection for life.
said the specialist.
The vaccine can be prescribed by your GP, but you should also wait for the flu shot and then administer both at the same time. So you only have to visit the office once, and now the goal is for older patients to come into contact with others, including the doctor, as little as possible.
– suggested Lóránd Kreft-Horváth.
Péter Torzsa, a family physician and associate professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Semmelweis, drew attention to the fact that the bacteria in question can also cause meningitis and cause a bloodstream infection.
It is very difficult to determine now what is causing someone’s illness, a bacteria or a coronavirus, so it is important to do everything possible to prevent it, such as getting vaccinated. When the coronavirus arrives, our body will have to deal with it
argued the family doctor.
If someone is already vaccinated but has difficulty breathing, sputum turns green, we have throbbing back pain and we have a fever, then pneumonia can be suspected, but by getting vaccinated against the bacteria we will already be protected. Protection develops within a few weeks of vaccination.
