Expert Novoselov from Novosibirsk spoke regarding new strains of influenza
Novoselov, a medical specialist from Novosibirsk, spoke regarding the danger of new influenza subspecies.
At the end of 2023, scientists from the World Health Organization reported the emergence of four new strains of influenza. Influenza A (H1N1) or swine flu, Influenza A (H3N2) or Hong Kong flu, influenza group B-Victoria, and influenza group B-Yamagata will be active in the coming season in the northern hemisphere, according to the WHO forecast.
Some virologists warn that new flu strains might be more dangerous and more severe than coronavirus. They indicate possible complications in the form of pneumonia and a prolonged course of the disease. In this regard, WHO recommends vaccination to protect public health.
However, there are other opinions, including from the candidate of medical sciences Yakov Novoselov, who argues that the standard manifestations of influenza should not be more serious than before, since its symptoms have not changed critically in 25 years. For comparison, the first variations of COVID-19 were a hundred times more fatal than the 2023 versions.
Despite different points of view, it is important to note that vaccination is one of the most effective ways to fight the flu and protect once morest its complications. Therefore, it is recommended to listen to the recommendations of doctors and take into account the individual characteristics of your health when making decisions regarding vaccination.
