Prevention of influenza and acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI)
Prevention of influenza and acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) is a complex of measures aimed at preventing human infection with viruses causing the disease. Preventive methods of protection are divided into specific and non-specific.
Specific prevention of influenza and ARVI involves annual vaccination of the population. Due to the tendency of viruses to mutate, the vaccine is adjusted annually. According to data provided by the WHO, mass vaccination has helped reduce the intensity of influenza epidemics worldwide. Modern vaccines can protect about 80% of both adults and children from influenza.
Specific prevention of influenza and ARVI
Vaccination will be considered effective in combating influenza only if 50% or more of the country’s population receives it. Currently, more than 20 different vaccines of 4 generations are registered.
Each vaccine is made from the virus strains that will be relevant in the upcoming year during epidemics.
There is a particular need for vaccination among the following social groups:
Elderly people;
Preschool and school-age children;
Workers in educational, medical, commercial, and other fields;
Pregnant women;
Individuals with weakened immune systems and chronic illnesses.
Non-specific prevention of influenza and ARVI
Non-specific prevention of influenza and ARVI boils down to increasing the body’s resistance to viruses and preventing their entry into the body.
There are the following practical recommendations to follow to protect yourself from infection:
Maintaining optimal air temperature and humidity levels in crowded spaces.
Regular ventilation of premises.
Outdoor walks.
Proper nutrition. Food should provide the necessary intake of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and vitamins.
Adequate hydration allows replenishing the body’s fluid reserves and moisturizing the mucous membranes. It has been proven that viruses find it much easier to penetrate the cells of the upper respiratory tract epithelium when they are dry and have microcracks.
Physical activity, including daily sports activities.
Adequate rest. Primarily, this means healthy sleep. To maintain immune function, one should sleep for at least 8 hours a day.
Maintaining cleanliness indoors, daily wet cleaning with minimal use of household chemicals.
Implementing a mask regime during influenza and cold epidemics. Masks should not be touched by hands after being fixed on the face. Reuse is unacceptable.
Avoiding crowded places.
Thorough handwashing after visiting public places. Until then, avoid touching your face, lips, or nose.
In terms of hygiene, attention should be paid not only to hands but also to nasal passages. Nasal hygiene should be performed after each visit to a public place. Special solutions and sprays based on seawater, as well as regular saline solution, are suitable for this purpose. In addition to this procedure, gargling with a solution of soda and salt is recommended.
During conversations, it is advisable to maintain a distance of at least one meter from the interlocutor.
In medical institutions, classrooms, daycare groups, and universities, the use of ultraviolet lamps is advisable.
Be healthy!
