Quem tem diabetes pode tomar a vacina da gripe? Saiba o que acontece no corpo | DiabetesCast #51

In this episode of DiabetesCast, infectious disease specialist Igor Marinho talks with Tom Bueno about a central topic for those living with diabetes: vaccination. Based on scientific evidence, the episode explains why people with diabetes have a higher risk of infections and how hyperglycemia can affect the immune system. The conversation details what is available free of charge through the Brazilian public health system (SUS), such as influenza, COVID-19, hepatitis B, tetanus, and pneumococcal vaccines, and also addresses vaccines from the private system, such as shingles, respiratory syncytial virus, and more comprehensive versions of the pneumococcal vaccine. In addition, the episode discusses the decline in vaccination coverage in the country, the impact of misinformation, and reinforces the importance of science-based decisions.
