At the same time, a spike in seasonal flu cases was recorded.<\/p>\n<p>With this new wave of Covid-19, deaths and hospitalizations in intensive care are increasing only slightly, said the same source, underlining the relationship with vaccination. &#8220;Vaccination remains one of the most effective mechanisms against influenza and Covid-19,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>This disease, which mainly affects children and causes paralysis, has almost disappeared from the western world, but a variant of the poliovirus derived from oral vaccines has recently been detected in the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Israel and New York.<\/p>\n<p>More virulent than the natural virus, this variant can even cause severe symptoms such as limb paralysis in unvaccinated patients. Rare, this variant has developed further over the past few years due to poor vaccination rates in some communities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All over the world, if we leave people behind, the polio virus is a very good barometer to tell us who they are,&#8221; said WHO Europe expert Siddhartha Datta. &#8220;All over the world, if we leave people behind, the polio virus is a very good barometer to tell us who they are,&#8221; said WHO Europe expert Siddhartha Datta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/angola\">Angola<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Angola.
