In Sevastopol from 21 to 29 January suspended the educational process in general, as well as after-school educational institutions to prevent the spread of influenza and SARS.

As the press service of the Sevastopol city state administration, according to the Emergency Anti-Epidemic Commission in the period from 14 to 20 January 2745 viral infections are sick people, including influenza - 1. As a result epidporog was exceeded by 1,1%.

[Comment Korr.VM. The epidemic of influenza and ARVI in Ukraine has not yet quiet. Oy evidenced new victims of influenza among young people in the Lviv region, where the girl died from flu-student and two children.

On the other hand, doctors in Ukraine continues active promotion activities inhabitants grafted against influenza. I wonder how justified is the allocation of money in the city of Sevastopol for the purchase of vaccines? Immunity in vaccinated will produce only 2 weeks after inoculation, and the maximum effect of the vaccine can be observed only after a month, that is for the current epidemic of flu vaccination train has already left. On the other hand, the flu vaccine in the period - this means to transfer the disease in the state of sensitization, that is - is much harder than neprivivtym man. - Corr.VM]
