Head of the National Emergency, Skënder Brataj

The Head of the National Emergency, Skënder Brataj, stated on his YouTube channel that an increased number of flu cases is expected this year.

At the beginning of the published message, he states that Australia is experiencing one of the most severe flu seasons of the last decade, with a significant increase in cases (+70%), hospitalizations (+50%), while emergency services have doubled.

What is expected to happen in Albania and Europe?

According to Brataj, the virus circulating in the southern hemisphere, A H1N1 and B Victoria, is expected to have a higher intensity in Albania and Europe than last year, therefore vaccination is important.

Brataj's full statement:

"A short but very important message about what awaits us next fall-winter. Usually we are always based on the southern hemisphere, in which at the moment it is the winter period and the high number of flu infections is at very high figures compared to last year. The reference point for this at the moment is Australia, where the number of new cases is over 70 percent. The number of hospitalizations is over 50 percent at the moment. The use of pre-hospital emergency and ambulances is currently almost doubled.

What is expected to come to Albania and Europe in the fall and winter? It is expected to circulate as usual, like every year, the virus is now circulating in the southern hemisphere, namely in Australia, and at this moment 2 subtypes of the flu are circulating there.

Influenza type AH1N1 and influenza type BI subtype B victoria. The groups most at risk are the elderly, pregnant women, children and people with comorbidities, regardless of their age.

What should we do? As every year, vaccination with the flu vaccine is carried out, which greatly prevents infection.

Looking at these figures for the southern hemisphere, it is expected that in Albania and Europe the intensity of the flu this year will be much higher than last year.

"That's why vaccination is necessary ," says Brataj.
