BRAZIL – Multivaccination: An effective strategy to strengthen general immunity and prevent diseases, without risks to the population.

Multi-vaccination campaigns have proven to be effective and safe for the population, contributing significantly to increasing vaccination coverage in the country and strengthening general immunity. Despite this, amid the spread of false information and misinformation, some people are still afraid of using multiple vaccines on the same day.

Experts interviewed by Agência Brasil highlighted the importance and safety of the strategy adopted by the Ministry of Health on National Vaccination Day, celebrated on October 17. In multi-vaccination campaigns, which are aimed mainly at children and adolescents under 15 years of age, several vaccines are available that protect against diseases such as polio, measles, rubella and mumps, including others.

Researcher Patricia Boccolini, coordinator of the Children’s Health Observatory, says there is no limit to the number of vaccinations a child can receive on the same day. According to her, it is important to take advantage of the opportunity to keep vaccines up to date and protect the health of individuals. Health professionals present in the joint efforts are ready to assess and administer the necessary doses.

Another issue addressed by experts is the importance of maintaining high vaccination coverage in the country. This is seen in preventing outbreaks of preventable diseases such as measles and polio. Even with the eradication of polio in Brazil since 1989, the country is still considered to be at high risk of reintroducing the virus, which underlines the importance of vaccination campaigns to maintain general immunity. .

Participation in multi-vaccination campaigns is essential to ensure the protection of the population and prevent the spread of serious diseases. By updating the vaccination schedule, delayed doses can be applied, strengthening immunity and promoting public health. A joint effort by health professionals and the public is essential to ensure the success of these initiatives and to protect everyone from preventable diseases.
