Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov, on the air of the Russia 1 channel, warned about the dangers of certain infections that claim millions of lives every year, and named a way to avoid them.

He stressed that people are dying from pneumococcal, meningococcal and hemophilic infections. Thus, 2 million people die from pneumonia every year in the world.

Myasnikov noted that it is vaccination that can protect against these brain-destroying diseases, it is mandatory for children, the elderly and patients with chronic diseases, as well as for those who do not have a spleen, since it is in it that the polysaccharide capsules of meningococcus, pneumococcus "break" and Haemophilus influenzae.

“Vaccinate children, protect not only their brains, but also their health [in general, because] a person consists of a brain, heart, kidneys, etc.,” the TV presenter urged.

The doctor recalled that many adults do not suspect that they are carriers of pneumococcus and meningococcus, and when a person gets into adverse conditions, the bacteria can become more active.

Earlier, Rospotrebnadzor warned about the atypical activity of another virus.
