The importance of vaccination during the cold season
With the onset of the autumn-winter period, the risk of contracting respiratory viral infections, including the flu, increases. Vaccination remains one of the most effective ways to prevent severe forms of the disease, complications, and the spread of the virus. According to the Ministry of Health of the Kirov region, nearly 147,000 people have already been vaccinated to date, which indicates a high level of public awareness and the active work of medical institutions.
The flu is not just a cold. It can lead to serious consequences, especially for children, the elderly, and people with chronic diseases. Timely vaccination helps build immunity before the epidemic peak, significantly reducing the likelihood of infection or easing the course of the disease.
How and where can you get vaccinated?
The flu vaccination campaign is traditionally carried out at local polyclinics. To receive the vaccine, you need to contact your local therapist or pediatrician, who will perform an examination and decide on the possibility of vaccination. It is important to remember that there should be no acute respiratory diseases or exacerbations of chronic ailments before vaccination.
- Contact your local polyclinic.
- Undergo a medical examination.
- Get vaccinated for free under the compulsory medical insurance policy.
- Remember that vaccination is an investment in your health!
The Ministry of Health of the Kirov region urges all residents who have no contraindications to get vaccinated and contribute to collective immunity. Protect yourself and your loved ones from the flu!
