A 47-year-old man was connected to an ECMO device due to severe flu complications. Prof. Shlomo Vinker, from Leumit Health Services, explains that this year's virus is not unusual, and that the vaccine reduces complications even if it does not prevent infection entirely. According to him, there has been a slight increase in vaccination rates compared to last year, but no mass rush. He warns against general laxity in vaccination, not just for the flu, and calls for public vigilance.
