Vikulov: vaccination in the rise of morbidity leaves a person at risk

The formation of an immune response after vaccination takes time — from two to four weeks. If you get vaccinated already during the period of an increase in the number of cases, a person, although he will receive protection, will remain at risk and may not have time to prepare the body for the pathogens. This was stated by the Director of the Scientific Research Center for the Prevention and Treatment of viral infections, Head of the on Immunology and Allergology at the Moscow State University Medical Institute, PhD Georgy Vikulov at the Izvestia Press Center on December 10 during a press conference on: "Seasonal diseases: the main risks and protective measures".

"The fact is that traditionally, routine immunoprophylaxis is carried out before the incidence rises, so that an immune response can form, which takes from two to four weeks. Accordingly, if a person receives vaccination during an increase in morbidity, yes, he will form an immune response, but he will be at risk and may not have time to prepare the body for the pathogens," he explained.

Timely immunoprophylaxis is especially important for those whose professional activities involve a large number of contacts. First of all, this applies to social workers: medical personnel, teachers of universities, schools and colleges, employees of trade and service enterprises. A high percentage of vaccination coverage is also traditionally noted among military personnel, athletes of higher qualification categories and government employees.

The expert stressed that the issue of vaccination is largely related to the level of education and awareness. A significant number of people still refuse to get flu shots. In this situation, according to Vikulov, the most important task of the medical community is competent and convincing explanatory work. It is necessary to find the right formulations and theses that will motivate citizens to undergo timely immunoprophylaxis to protect their own health.

All about flu vaccination: when and how to prepare

Ekaterina Belova, an allergist and immunologist at the Atribeaute clinic, said on November 25 that it was useless to strengthen the immune system during illness. The specialist dispelled the myth about the work of the immune system in acute respiratory viral infections and influenza. According to her, the immune system can be strengthened in case of illness, but this only works if a person has an immunodeficiency.
