Vaccines and reinforcements become essential to guarantee health protection
Essential for the doses of health, vaccines and reinforcements help to fight and prevent the spread of dangerous diseases
It is demonstrated: although they create a memory in the immune system, the level of vaccine protection can decrease over time. This is the reason why it is so important to maintain the updated vaccination calendar with reinforcement doses.
Fábio Argenta, founding partner and medical director of free health vaccines, explains that the reinforcement dosages are used to stimulate the production of antibodies. In addition, they maintain the defense against infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria, in particular for the most vulnerable (children, elderly and people with comorbilities).
“A good example of a vaccine that requires a dose of reinforcement is against influenza. The flu vaccination campaigns occur every year to strengthen immunity. It is important to highlight that the protection offered by the vaccine decreases about 10 months after application,” he says.
Time of flu
With the fluctuations of the driest air temperature and autumn, the warning for the application of the flu vaccine is reinforced. Therefore, it is possible to contain the progress of respiratory diseases.
The Fiocruz de 2024 Infogipe Bulletin attracts attention to hospitalizations for a serious acute respiratory syndrome (SRAG), in particular the influence A (influence) and the respiratory syncing virus (VSR). According to the investigation, the prevalence between cases as a positive result for respiratory viruses in the last four epidemiological weeks of the period was 56% for VSR, 25.8% for influence A, 4.5% for Sars-Cov-2/Covid-19 and 0.4% for influence B.
The reinforcement of vaccines, in this specific case of influence, is necessary for greater health protection. Every year they are updated with strains with circulation in the northern hemisphere (North America, Asia, Europe, part of Africa and South America northern). This update is performed as these strains should reach the southern hemisphere during the winter here.
On free health vaccines
Founded in 2012, to Lucas Do Rio Verde (MT), Free Health Vaccines, a network of clinics focused on the latest care for health prevention for immunoprevinable diseases, offers vaccines for all age groups.
