The National Ministry of Health is promoting a measles and polio vaccination campaign that will continue until November 13 for children between thirteen months and four years inclusive. However, the initiative was launched in early October and, up to now, has not had the desired results.
In the statements a University of Radio, pediatrician Sabrina Critzmann said this campaign “didn’t go very well”. “Last week we vaccinated 25% and added 34, and the truth is that this is pretty sad,” she said. For galena the problem lies in the myth that these diseases are “mild” and that there is “little memory” of the epidemics experienced in recent years.
For this Critzmann stressed the importance of the campaign that tries to respect the doses of the vaccine because it is a series of viruses “that have not yet been eradicated” and that must be prevented. As he warned, all diseases to be treated with the vaccine are “dangerous” and that is why he believes that this vaccination project should educate families and be massive on social networks.
“We need to think not only about children being vaccinated and about protecting ourselves, but also about people who cannot be vaccinated, that is, children who are undergoing chemotherapy or who have received a transplant; for these people, any of these diseases in a mild way can be fatal or have serious consequences, so it is important that we all take care of ourselves “, said the pediatrician..
“Let’s get vaccinated!” It is carried out in any public or private vaccination center and does not require a medical prescription or vaccination schedule. All children who meet the conditions should be vaccinated with boosters, even if they already have the full schedule. Finally, the doctor specified: “The campaign is always every four years, the year of the World Cup, because we remember it.”
