With the low commitment of the target audience to the influenza vaccination campaign, the Municipal Health Administration (CMOS) is calling on priority groups to receive a dose this year. The vaccine is available at Family Health Units (USF) Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Intensification is a recommendation of the Ministry of Health throughout the northern region of the country and continues until December 15. Available units can be checked below.
Priority groups include children from six months to less than six years (i.e. up to 5 years, 11 months and 29 days), the elderly, pregnant women and women who have recently given birth up to 45 days after giving birth, health workers, teachers, and residents Indigenous people (village residents and non-village residents), security and rescue force professionals, armed forces, people with permanent disabilities, people with comorbidities, truck drivers, public land transport workers (urban and long-distance), port workers, populations deprived of liberty and civil servants. Prisons.
Simos stresses that the influenza vaccine should be taken every year and that the main participants in the campaign should be from priority groups, with a greater chance of complications due to the disease. Immunization is the best form of protection to ensure the safety of the population and prevent transmission of the virus.
About illness
According to the Ministry of Health, influenza is an acute infection of the respiratory system caused by the influenza virus, with high transmission potential. There are four types of influenza/influenza viruses: “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D.” Influenza A and B viruses are responsible for seasonal epidemics, with influenza A being the cause of major pandemics.
