Every year the epidemic season of influenza lasts approximately from September - October to March - April. During this period, there is the greatest risk of contracting a dangerous ailment.
Flu is a highly contact viral disease with the possibility of severe complications and the risk of death. The source of infection is a sick person. The infected person is especially dangerous in the midst of the disease, in a feverish state. The period of infection lasts on average 4-7 days. The transmission of infection occurs mainly by airborne droplets.

Annual vaccination is the most effective means of protecting the body from influenza viruses.
The vaccine protects against all topical flu strains, is safe and effective.
However, the severe form of the disease is characterized by rapidly progressive primary viral pneumonia, which, unlike bacterial pneumonia, is not sensitive to antibiotics and without proper treatment can be fatal within 24 hours after the first signs of complication.
Whatever the strain of the virus is, it is necessary to remember and follow the most important simple rules. After all, the flu, like other respiratory viruses, is transmitted by airborne droplets and affects the respiratory system. Preventive measures are aimed primarily to increase the body's resistance to the action of influenza pathogens, as well as other GRI and ARI.
So simple things that save life: avoid contact with patients, use medical masks, avoid drying the mucous membranes of the nose, use the general rules of hygiene, regularly ventilate the room and do a wet cleaning, keep a healthy lifestyle, further protect yourself. Meeting with a virus without protective antibodies leads to the disease.
