Rospotrebnadzor dispelled the myth that the flu vaccine can cause disease

In Rospotrebnadzor in the Pskov region denied the widespread opinion that the flu vaccine can cause the disease, told “MK in Pskov” reported the press service of the Ministry.

As experts explained, no vaccine causes a typical disease: either a weakened virus or its parts are injected into the body, which cannot provoke the disease, but stimulate the production of antibodies.

When a “wild” virus enters the body, antibodies are ready, they bind to it and prevent infection of the cell and reproduction of the virus, so the disease is prevented even before the onset.

Modern vaccines are easily tolerated: after vaccination, there are no symptoms of the disease. Only some people may have redness at the injection site or a slight increase in temperature.
