Health measures to prevent flu in winter, try these measures Marathi News

health tips: Winter days are starting now. The alarming effect of ‘immunity debt’ around the world has led experts to warn that flu numbers will be much higher this season. Immunity date means that people have not been exposed to the common virus for the past two years because they have been practicing social distancing or wearing a mask. Research (in 2022) by Tasleem Ali and colleagues found that the same population was 10 to 60 percent more likely to have influenza if pandemic restrictions were lifted.

This is expected to result in a one to fourfold increase in flu cases in the current 2022-23 season. If we look at the figures of 2022 in India, Maharashtra, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, W. Bengal, Punjab and other states have seen a major increase in flu cases. The number of swine flu patients in the country is also increasing day by day. Compared to last year, a 15 times increase has been registered.

In this regard, Dr. Jejo Karankumar, Director, Abbott India Medical Affairs, says, “Influenza is a vaccine-preventable disease and there are several steps you can take to protect yourself and your family from the health problems associated with the disease. It is important to provide multi-layered protection against influenza in groups, not only to children but also to adults who are at risk of illness.”
