The Cibir opened this Saturday to host a walk-in flu vaccination day for children under 5 years of age with a very good reception. Nagore and Eduardo went with Naia and Julen “for convenience.” “For not having to leave work and go to the health center,” Nagore explained. And the convenience of being a Saturday day and a free vaccination, without reservation, encouraged many to come. «The four of us always get vaccinated. “We do it every year,” said Eduardo.
Sara and Sergio attended to vaccinate their daughter Manuela, 2 years old. «We had made an appointment in October but she had a fever, she became ill and now that they have made this call we have taken advantage. “They recommended it to us when I was pregnant and she went to daycare,” Sara said. Manuela, like many children, was surprised by how the vaccine was, not intravenous but intranasal. “I think she thought she was syrup and that’s why she was a little surprised,” her mother acknowledged.
Adrián came with his sons Lucas and Raúl, 2 years old. «We believe that vaccinations are important to protect ourselves and others. You have to have a little social conscience. I could have come during the week, but the truth is that it is more comfortable on a Saturday. Furthermore, they recently had bronchitis and we are worried about their health,” Adrián declared.
Anar Hussaian, of Pakistani origin, went to vaccinate his 4-year-old son Ahmed Abas. «At school they told us to come because it is good for the child’s health. And since it is Saturday, it is easier to bring the baby to be vaccinated, although now he is fine,” Anar explained.
«The vaccine saves lives. “They are safe and effective,” says José Antonio Oteo.
“The best of all to avoid getting sick is prevention and the vaccine is what has scientific evidence that it works,” declared the Minister of Health and Social Services of the Government of La Rioja, María Martín, at the beginning of the day. The vaccination campaign against bronchiolitis has been a success and this is the first year that children under 5 years of age have been vaccinated against the flu. “Especially at this time, when going back to school can cause infections to increase, the vaccine works,” warned María Martín. On the other hand, the Deputy Minister of Health and Socio-Sanitary Policies, José Antonio Oteo, stressed that “the vaccine saves lives.” “They are safe and effective vaccines, and not only out of self-interest, but also to protect our elders, fragile people, it is an exercise in responsibility to get vaccinated,” José Antonio Otero stressed. The Government of La Rioja reminds that it is possible to go to health centers any other day and get vaccinated and it is not ruled out that another campaign will be called on another Saturday.
