s (COVID-19) and influenza. University nurse K.Esmurzayeva and vice-rector for educational part and social work B.K. Sadykov told about the importance of observing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the dangers of flu and its symptoms.
“Influenza is a serious viral infection that affects people regardless of gender or age. The main method of prevention against influenza is vaccination, when a particle of an infectious agent is injected into the body. The virus contained in the vaccine stimulates the body to produce antibodies that prevent virus reproduction and cell infection. Thanks to this disease, it is possible to prevent it even before its onset”,- the nurse shared.
It is worth knowing that in most cases, influenza and ARVI viruses are spread by airborne droplets. However, many people do not suspect that viruses can persist on objects and surfaces around us for several hours. Therefore, during an epidemic of influenza, to prevent infection, it is necessary to maintain the necessary cleanliness in the house and observe personal hygiene, doctors recommend.
