| 1:00 PM | Kyiv | – Ihor Kuzin, Deputy Minister of Health, Chief State Sanitary Doctor of Ukraine (in person) | Is Ukraine headed for a flu epidemic and what’s the potential for “local quarantine efforts” orders across the country? Topics of focus: – Current COVID-19 rates across Ukraine; – Vaccines available for Ukrainians; – Updated 2024/2025 vaccination guidelines for the flu season; – Can flu, COVID-19, and pertussis vaccines be safely combined with regular immunizations? – Vaccination access: alternatives to pandemic-era mass vaccination sites; – Flu strain forecasts and expectations; – Free revaccination for diphtheria and tetanus: where and how to get? – Treating ARVI, flu, and COVID-19: when are antibiotics appropriate? – Conditions under which “local quarantine efforts” could be enacted. Why is it interesting? COVID-19 cases in Ukraine are on the rise, and flu season is underway. Since September 30, as the epidemic season kicked off, 587,751 people have fallen ill with SARS, flu, and COVID-19, including 10,261 confirmed COVID-19 cases. Nearly half of those affected and hospitalized are children. |
