„M-am vaccinat, dar tot am răcit”. Un cunoscut medic răspunde uneia dintre întrebările pe care pacienții o pun cel mai des în cabinet, în sezonul rece

Dr. Gindrovel Dumitra clarifies common misconceptions about flu vaccination and respiratory infections. Vaccination protects against severe flu but not all respiratory viruses. Annual vaccination is necessary due to changing virus strains. There is no universal vaccine for all seasonal viruses, and prevention relies on general hygiene measures. COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are exceptions, with specific vaccines available. The flu vaccine costs around 80 lei, with free options for vulnerable groups.
