GridHEALTH.id -In this Covid-19 pandemic, influenza vaccination can help us reduce the risk of death.

Because, according to the deputy head of British medical, Prof. Jonathan van-Tam, “double attack” from flu and Covid-19 almost doubles the risk of death.

“As I understand it, 43% of coinfected people died with 26.9% of those who tested positive only for Covid-19,” said Van-Tam, as published by The Guardian.

Not only death, attacks from flu and Covid-19 will also increase patients with severe symptoms. This can be seen in the corona virus outbreak between January and April, where the Covid-19 death rate in hospitals was around 25% higher.

“I think the relative differences in the tariff size are more important than the absolute level,” he continued.

British Public Health Medical Director, Prof. Yvonne Doyle said, the death rate from flu each year reaches 4 thousand to 22 thousand people. Last year, 8 thousand people in England died from flu.
