Non-specific prevention of respiratory infections during vaccination against COVID-19

Abstract

The novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has a suppressive effect on innate immunity, which is a prerequisite for developing strategies to enhance this non-specific link as a preventive measure to protect against other respiratory infections during the ongoing circulation of mutating strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Despite the currently developed and available preventive measures, it has been noted that in persons who have undergone COVID-19, repeated episodes of both coronavirus infection and diseases caused by other pathogens have been recorded.
 This review analyzes data from the biomedical literature and considers examples of health risks associated with continued infection with pathogens that cause respiratory tract pathologies. It also reflects the ways and approaches of possible preventive measures, the purpose of which is to prevent the development of pathologies of both the respiratory organs and other systems.
