It is a viral disease caused by the virus type A (H1N1). It
is transmitted through cough and sneeze through my end among people. Influenza
virus can also be transmitted after touching the infected area, when the hands
are taken to the mouth and nose. This disease is called swine flu because it is
very similar to flu viruses among pigs. This virus is a mixture of human, pig
and bird viruses. Similar to normal seasonal flu disease in humans, symptoms
such as fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, weakness, chills, body pain, and
headache develop. The diagnosis can be made with the swallow samples taken from
the nose and throat.
This vaccine is a dead vaccine, it does not contain
live viruses. Antiviral drugs can be given to those who are infected for
treatment. Seasonal flu vaccine does not protect against swine flu. Therefore,
both seasonal flu vaccine and swine flu vaccine are recommended. Both vaccines
can be given on the same day provided that they are from different arms.
Pregnant women are more at risk of swine flu than other
people. Pregnant women are one of the groups in which swine flu vaccine is
primarily recommended. Because pregnant women have a higher risk of swine flu
disease causing complications. Women who have just given birth are in high risk
group against this virus like pregnant women. It is hoped that the swine flu
vaccine will be as reliable as the normal flu vaccine. Slight vaccine-related
side effects have been observed in humans. The swine flu vaccine has not been
tested yet for pregnant women. Normal seasonal flu vaccine is not safe for
pregnant women, it is even recommended for pregnant women. Although swine flu
vaccine (2009 H1N1 flu vaccine) is not enough, it is estimated that there is no
harm in pregnant women and lactating women like normal flu vaccine. Swine
infusion vaccine can be administered at any time of pregnancy, just like the
normal seasonal flu vaccine. Only 1 dose of vaccine is recommended during
pregnancy.
Since the body's immune system is weakened during pregnancy,
the risk of developing flu diseases and the risk of suffering from it
increases. Passing swine flu during pregnancy may cause dehydration and
increase the risk of preterm delivery. It does not cause an anomaly or
disability in the baby, except for the risk of preterm birth.
The risks of mothers who have taken the swine flu (influenza
A (H1N1)) and breastfeeding their babies are not known. However, in order to
reduce the risk of passing the virus to the baby, they should take measures
such as washing their hands frequently and wearing masks. Mothers with swine
infusion vaccine or seasonal flu vaccine can continue breastfeeding their
babies.
To reduce
the risk of swine flu getting on you:
- Avoid kissing cheeks or shaking hands with people
- Wash your hands frequently.
- Use alcohol-containing hand washing antiseptics
- Wash your hands before touching your face, eyes, mouth,
nose
- Avoid close contact with people you know are sick
- Use tissue paper when coughing and sneezing
- Try to be more in the open air
