The activity of the department of Health promotion she was rich this month. DSP investigators and medical assistants also organized information sessions at rural schools, more isolated communities in the county that are in dire need of such activities. Until April 27, DSP will be promoting the benefits of vaccination in kindergartens in the town of Reşita. Yesterday, the Health Promotion team was present at Dumbrava Minunată kindergarten and today a similar activity was organized at PP Semenicul kindergarten.
Immunization through vaccination and compliance with the national scheme is the safest way to protect children from infectious diseases. With details about the coordinator of this campaign, Sonia Kugler:
“The Public Health Directorate had a whole month through our Health Promotion department, it’s national immunization information month, so we went into the schools where we had information sessions with parents and we just did it locally, here, in Reșita, we also traveled to areas much further away, I went to Cornereva, Teregova, Slatina Timiș, Bozovic, Pojejena, I went with this information until the parents find out what the benefits of vaccination are, to find out how it is like a schedule vaccine, what vaccines there are, both the MMR vaccine with the measles-rubella-mumps vaccine, that was about the topics on our list and our planning this month.
There are communities where this vaccination is pleasant and under the control of the parents, but there are also areas where the parents came with these vaccination cards and asked us what else they had to do, it was not trusted , or rather we had no problems with us. The method. We will continue with the information activities as we celebrate European Immunization Week, until 27 April.
This week is somehow guided through schools, kindergartens, crèches, yesterday I went to Dumbrava Minunătă where I talked to the parents, I also had an information session at the high school level in Ezeriș and today we are at the kindergarten PP Semenicul. Vaccines are the biggest development in the field of health, if the child is vaccinated, he is also protected, he is free to play, he is free to sing, dance, go into communities with his colleagues, and at the same time, is fear falling from the parents’ shoulders until they bring a child who is not vaccinated into a community where he will get sick with the infectious diseases much faster.”
Parents from the Semenicul PP kindergarten were very willing to accept this action, recognizing the importance of children’s vaccination. Of the 140 children in this unit, only 6 are not vaccinated with the vaccine from the national scheme.
When a large number of children are vaccinated, group immunity is achieved, a condition where diseases cannot easily spread from one person to another.
