Advice for the population about rumors about the new coronavirus (COVID-19) -
- Do pneumonia vaccines protect against the new coronavirus?
No. Pneumonia vaccines, such as pneumococcal and Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine, do not protect against the new coronavirus.
The 2019-nCoV is so new and different that it is necessary to develop a specific vaccine, which is already being worked on with the support of the WHO.
Although pneumonia vaccines are not effective against 2019-nCoV, it is highly desirable to get vaccinated against respiratory diseases to maintain good health.
- Should I rinse my nose regularly with saline to prevent infection with the new coronavirus?
No. There is no evidence to suggest that this practice protects against infection with the new coronavirus.
Although some evidence indicates that rinsing your nose regularly with saline can speed recovery after a common cold, it has not been shown to prevent respiratory infections.
