The Office of Rospotrebnadzor in St. Petersburg reminded citizens that the specific immunity obtained following vaccination in childhood weakens over the years. This means that not only children, but also adults need to be vaccinated.

Most older people have previously been vaccinated once morest infections such as diphtheria, tetanus, measles, influenza, and pneumococcal infections. Therefore, many people do not think regarding protection, thinking that there is no need to worry, but this is not so.

Tetanus and diphtheria vaccinations need to be updated every 10 years. Measles and rubella are severe viral infections that can lead to brain damage and even death.

Vaccination once morest pneumococcal infection and influenza is especially necessary for people with chronic diseases, as well as people over 60 years of age. People who travel frequently and socialize a lot are recommended to be vaccinated once morest meningococcal infection and hepatitis A.

It is also worth getting vaccinated once morest tick-borne viral encephalitis. Rospotrebnadzor recalled that tick-borne encephalitis is characterized by spring and summer seasonality. However, a second wave of incidence is also possible, which occurs in August–September, and sometimes in October–November.

Earlier, the Petersburg Diary wrote that all clinics in St. Petersburg were provided with the flu vaccine.
