After patients receive HPV immunization between the ages of 9 and 12, parents usually do not take their children to vaccination centers, sometimes due to lack of knowledge they do not continue with the Vaccination Schedule, there are doses such as Hepatitis A and B, Flu (influenza), pneumococcus, Herpes Zoster, Tetanus, Diphtheria and Whooping Cough, which are necessary to maintain a strengthened body.
Every newborn requires vaccinations, this is a right and a duty, to prevent dangerous diseases such as measles or whooping cough, which not only prevents pain and suffering, but also saves lives, reported the Atty. Solangel Rios, nurse of the Expanded Immunization Program (EPI) of this care unit.

These doses weaken after early childhood passes, for this reason reinforcements are necessary, therefore, “I urge the population to review the vaccination cards and if there is any doubt, go to the Social Security Fund polyclinics. so that the appropriate nurses can check whether any vaccines are needed for both children and adults, to maintain a protected population,” said Rios.
