A one-and-a-half-year-old baby fell ill with the flu, and was hospitalized at Barzilai Hospital, where she is anesthetized and resuscitated. All this despite being vaccinated against the flu in November. The hospital said in response to Behadrei Haredim that her condition was defined as difficult, but stable.
It will be recalled that only last week, a 31-year-old woman gave birth at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital due to the flu she was suffering from. The mother underwent a caesarean section during which a healthy baby was born and after that she was resuscitated and anesthetized due to respiratory complications, and a few days later her body systems collapsed and despite her intensive resuscitation efforts, the medical staff was forced to determine her death.
According to data from the National Center for Disease Control, as of last week, a total of 2,825 hospitalized patients have been reported to be vaccinated against influenza, including 863 children and 181 pregnant women and women. At the same time, the Ministry of Health reports that a steep increase is also observed in flu-like illness in the community.
Influenza morbidity in the country today includes children, adolescents, young adults and pregnant women, and is on the rise.
