“To protect ourselves from cancer, we have to protect our cells from viruses by training the immune system. The outcome of persistent viral infection depends on how the immune system will act. I expect very soon that there will be a vaccine against the Epstein-Barr virus, as well as against the cytomegalovirus, which is also a representative of the herpes viruses.
And within a year we will have
vaccine against HIV,” said virologist Prof. Radka Argirova. Dr. Kremena Parmakova, head of the Department of “Infectious Diseases Surveillance” at the Ministry of Health, told about the information campaign about the vaccines of the Ministry of Health, which was launched in April, and about the site for immunoprophylaxis “+men”.
“Genuine and affordable
information about immunizations and the diseases that vaccines prevent, including pertussis (whooping cough), can be found on the specialized site “+men”, she explained. In the last month there were 50,000 users, and in just one day the users were 15,000 because of whooping cough cases.
