Around 8,600 citizens have so far been vaccinated against seasonal flu at the Main Center for Family Medicine (MCFM) in Pristina. Although a slight increase in cases with flu symptoms has been observed, the situation is currently not worrisome.
The doctor at this center, Vjollca Zeqiri, told KosovaPress that all citizens should be vaccinated, even though vaccination continues until April-May of next year, but this time is better because the flu is more pronounced.
She emphasized that influenza is caused by three types of viruses, type A, B and C, where the first two can cause more severe forms of the disease.
According to her, people with chronic illnesses, the elderly and pregnant women, children under five and two years old, are most at risk from seasonal flu.
Zeqiri also emphasized the complications that these people may have as a result of the virus.
Zeqiri has called for care and personal hygiene, emphasizing that the influenza virus spreads very easily through close contact.
She has also called on citizens who consume antibiotics without a doctor's prescription to be careful, as antibiotics only act on bacteria and not on infections and cause harmful side effects.
QKMF doctor, Vjollca Zeqiri, said that the drug known as "paracetamol" is the first choice to reduce fever and relieve pain. She appeals to consume fluids, food rich in fruits and vegetables and rest, especially in the first two to three days when symptoms are at their peak. Symptoms of seasonal flu are sneezing, coughing, fever and chills. /KP/
