The significance of receiving the influenza vaccination amidst the second surge of COVID-19
Heads Up, Almaty Residents! 📢
Brace yourselves for the upcoming fall-winter season, folks! With the looming threat of another COVID-19 waves, it's essential to stay alert and vigilant. Nuriya Kalmuratova, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Clinical Work at City Polyclinic No.2, urges everyone to prioritize their health amidst the surge of respiratory diseases.
According to Kalmuratova, the new wave of COVID-19 might intersect with standard seasonal illnesses like colds, bacterial infections, the flu, and pneumonia, potentially leading to unforeseen consequences. To minimize these risks, she strongly recommends getting vaccinated in advance. 💉
Good news, Almaty residents! Flu vaccinations commence on September 15 and conclude on November 15. You can head to your local polyclinic and schedule an appointment to get vaccinated. That's not all—approximately 400,000 residents will receive the flu vaccine for free, including elderly residents, individuals with chronic diseases, children, healthcare workers, and pregnant women. 💰
It's important to keep in mind that regional rapid-response teams in Kazakhstan are now better equipped than ever, thanks to advanced technical infrastructure like Power BI Pro for disease monitoring. Additionally, preventive measures like mask use in crowded settings and ventilation improvements in public spaces are likely to continue. 😷🎯
