Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.49,0:00:15.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hello and welcome to Science in 5.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.85,0:00:17.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm Vismita Gupta-Smith.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.72,0:00:19.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are talking to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.07,0:00:22.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dr Sylvie Briand about flu \Nand COVID-19 today.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.55,0:00:23.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Welcome, Sylvie.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.84,0:00:29.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sylvie, let's start with how would people \Nknow if they have caught the flu or COVID-19?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.05,0:00:35.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the flu is very common, especially in \Nthis season, and usually the symptoms
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.73,0:00:43.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are fever, headache, muscle ache, but also \Nupper respiratory symptoms such
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.67,0:00:45.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as sneezing and coughing.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.91,0:00:52.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For COVID-19 it's the same symptoms, \Nbasically, but in addition, we have
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.61,0:00:57.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,specific symptoms such as anosmia, which is \Na lack of smell and ageusia,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.64,0:00:59.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is a lack of taste.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.78,0:01:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And many people, especially young people, \Nhave experienced these additional and specific
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.07,0:01:06.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,symptoms for COVID-19.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.22,0:01:10.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But sometimes people have very \Nfew symptoms, whether it's for flu
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.86,0:01:11.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or for COVID-19.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.86,0:01:14.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It really depends on \Nyour level of immunity.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.48,0:01:19.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What is important to know really for these \Ntwo diseases, is that the prevention
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.62,0:01:23.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,measures work for both of them, \Nand especially washing hands
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.96,0:01:25.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is very important.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.43,0:01:31.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then ventilation of rooms when you are in \Ncrowded rooms, with a lot of people
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.37,0:01:33.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in particular to open the window.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.07,0:01:39.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also wearing masks if you cannot open the \Nwindow and maintain physical distancing.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.83,0:01:44.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And both diseases are really \Npreventable if we apply those measures.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.60,0:01:50.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, Sylvie talked to us about the groups \Nthat are most at risk from the flu and also
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.61,0:01:54.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talk to us about the \Nsafety of taking the flu vaccine.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.87,0:01:59.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For those people who do have access to the \Nflu vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.26,0:02:01.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is it safe to take it?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.73,0:02:09.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the group most at risk for influenza, \Nare elderly, people with underlying
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.09,0:02:14.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conditions such as chronic \Nrespiratory disease, cancer,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.87,0:02:20.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cardiovascular disease, and these are \Nsimilar group as for COVID-19.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.93,0:02:27.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But for flu in addition, pregnant women and \Nvery young children, infants are also more
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.72,0:02:29.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at risk for severe disease.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.27,0:02:33.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So is it safe to administer a \Nflu vaccine and COVID-19 at the same time?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.31,0:02:39.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes, we have now a few studies that showed \Nthat it is safe to have both vaccines
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.01,0:02:40.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the same time.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.51,0:02:46.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But of course, people need to check with \Ntheir physician about their indication
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.65,0:02:47.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to take both vaccines.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.62,0:02:52.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sylvie, talk to us about how the \Ncomposition of the influenza vaccine
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.77,0:02:56.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is decided and also speak to us a little \Nmore about the safety and efficacy
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.06,0:02:57.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the flu vaccine.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.34,0:03:04.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are many, many different influenza \Nviruses out there and actually they
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.26,0:03:05.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,change very often.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.87,0:03:12.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so what is very important is to know \Nwhat are the predominant viruses in a given
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.62,0:03:21.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,setting so that we can take the antigen of \Nthis virus to compose the vaccine.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.89,0:03:24.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's why we have around the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.84,0:03:32.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,136 laboratories constantly monitoring the \Ncirculating viruses and twice a year,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.39,0:03:39.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have experts meeting to define what are \Nthe predominant viruses in certain places
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.09,0:03:39.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.25,0:03:45.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we have two vaccine composition meetings \Nper year: one for the northern hemisphere
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.74,0:03:47.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and one for the southern hemisphere.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.14,0:03:51.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the flu vaccine has existed for \Nmany decades, and it's a very
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.72,0:03:52.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,safe vaccine.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.82,0:03:56.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it's very important to have these \Nexpert meetings to define the composition
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.91,0:04:02.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the vaccine, to make sure that we put in \Nthe vaccine the component that will really
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.22,0:04:06.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,better protect people against the \Ncirculating viruses at a given time.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.04,0:04:12.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this vaccine is very recommended to \Nat risk people so that they can be protected
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.42,0:04:13.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,against severe flu
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.30,0:04:15.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and death when the season starts.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.07,0:04:17.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you, Sylvie.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.24,0:04:19.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That was Science in 5 today.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.09,0:04:20.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Until next time then.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.46,0:04:23.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Stay safe, stay healthy and \Nstick with science.
