Именно переход на использование в Украине ИПВ для всех доз Календаря прививок должен быть ближайшей задачей по вакцинопрофилактике. Для этого можно использовать несколько механизмов, включая гуманитарную помощь, заключение планируемых прямых договоров с производителями вакцин исходя из потребностей необходимого состава вакцин согласно Календарю, в частности с учетом существования современных комбинированных вакцин с ИПВ, которые могут быть использованы и в более старшем возрасте. При отсутствии комбинированных вакцин с ИПВ можно использовать ИПВ в качестве моновакцины.
“For the second month, we see an increase in the number of coronavirus diseases. Over the past week, 24,000 new cases were recorded, the week before that there were 16,000, that is, there is a gradual increase. Our experts, together with WHO experts, predict that this year the peak incidence will be at the beginning October... In previous years, it was the end of October - the beginning of November. We are preparing for this in order to provide proper medical care," the minister said.
A separate problem is the treatment of hypertension in patients with COVID-19. The presence of a history of hypertension in patients with COVID-19 was associated with a more severe course of infection, in contrast to patients who did not have hypertension. According to modern concepts, during the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with hypertension should carefully monitor their blood pressure levels and take constantly prescribed medications. This also applies to the use of so-called blockers of the renin-angiotensin system for the treatment of patients with hypertension: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers. A number of recent studies show that these groups of drugs not only do not increase the risk of infection with the virus, but also significantly improve the course of coronavirus disease.
