Vaccination: The Most Effective Means of Protection against the Flu for Children and Adults

Dear Visitors,

Every year in Ukraine, there is a significant increase in flu cases during the autumn-winter season. The Ministry of Health of Ukraine emphasizes the importance of taking preventive measures to avoid contracting the flu and knowing what to do in case of illness.

How can you catch the flu virus?

From an infected person through airborne droplets or dust (viral particles are transmitted through the air from a sick person to a healthy one during conversation, coughing, sneezing), or through close contact (being within approximately 2 meters).

Thus, the best way to protect your body from the flu is vaccination. If it wasn’t possible to get vaccinated before the flu season in September, you can still get vaccinated throughout the flu season. Contrary to a common myth, this does not weaken the body but strengthens its ability to resist the flu.

Vaccination is recommended only upon a doctor's advice and is performed solely in a medical facility.

For children, a pediatric consultation is mandatory before vaccination.

For adults, a consultation with a general practitioner is required.

Protect your family in time—get vaccinated. In our network, you have the opportunity to get vaccinated by scheduling a consultation through our contact center. We use the safe French-made vaccine Vaxigrip.

Sincerely,

MM “Dobrobut”
