When the weather changes, germs start working at full capacity. Due to this, dengue, chikungunya and blue infections are spreading more due to viral and bacterial infections.
Each year, the vaccine is developed based on the genetic mutation of the virus that circulates this season. Vaccination in August and September provides protection against blue. The more a virus spreads, the more often it mutates. Corona virus is a good example of this. At present, the more the virus is infected, the more genetic changes occur in the virus.
We don’t do any testing to make sure that the pneumonia virus that is spreading in China is infecting us. We have divided respiratory disorders into three categories: mild, moderate, and severe, and the first two categories do not require testing. In severe cases, we check for pneumonia infection only if admitted to ICU, intensive care unit. People with co-morbidities such as diabetes and high blood pressure have a higher risk of infection. Some of them have swine flu called ‘H1N1’. The only pill we have in use for this, ‘Tammy Blue’, will cure it.
As the spread of the virus will last until the end of February, you can still get vaccinated now. Pneumococcal vaccine for pneumonia should be given to people over 18 years of age with one dose now and another dose five years later.
