Influenza A / H3N2 is not the most “loyal”, and therefore Rospotrebnadzor once again reminded of the need to get vaccinated

Yesterday, the Influenza Research Institute published data for the first ten days of October: no influenza was found among the tested samples, and the overall incidence of SARS is even lower than a year ago. But there is still a “zero” case for the current season - he brought the A / H3N2 virus from Egypt, as reported by the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova. And this incident suggests that this autumn-winter season we will be going through both covid and influenza that have not yet said goodbye.

“The detected case is the first call so far. Different variants of the flu will sooner or later end up inside the country,” explained Alexander Semyonov, head of the Research Institute of Viral Infections of the State Scientific Center “Vector” of Rospotrebnadzor. - Influenza A/H3N2 is well known and comes to Russia not for the first time. It differs from other strains in that the disease proceeds intensively. Often with high fever. Symptoms of general intoxication are expressed. Therefore, of course, his arrival should be taken seriously.” Semyonov noted that the current time - until the flu has spread widely - should be used sensibly and vaccinated.

"The Egyptian strain that they are now talking about is the same A / H3N2, Hong Kong flu, possibly with some subvariations. The vaccines that are used this season (both tri- and quadrivalent) definitely contain antigens to this strain" , - Andrey Pozdnyakov, an infectious disease doctor, head physician of Invitro-Siberia, told RG. “The composition of the vaccines is based on WHO recommendations, trivalent vaccines are as effective as quadrivalent ones,” said Natalya Pshenichnaya, deputy director of the Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor.
