The head of the emergency department at the Abderrahmen Mami hospital, Doctor Rafik Boujaraya cautioned of seasonal flu.
The peak of the flu vague coincides with a rise in cases of coronavirus contamination, he explained.
Those who have fragile health must at least be protected from the flu. Symptoms can cause hospitalizations and deaths for people with chronic diseases.
At the same time, he told Mosaique FM that the seasonal flu vaccine has been available in the markets since October 17. About 300 thousand doses are available with protection against four varying from the flu (two type A and two type B) which cause the most contamination and damage.
For the coronavirus, Doctor Boujaraya has announced that estimates indicate that a new wave is scheduled for the end of December. It will be with a reduced pathogenic power if there are no new variants, he said.
