Big Demand For Winter Vaccinations
In conjunction with the improvement in the epidemiological situation of the Corona virus in the country, a Ministry of Health official said there is a big demand from citizens and residents to receive winter vaccinations, which includes vaccination against seasonal influenza and bacterial pneumonia (nemococal), especially after opening door for registration door for people 50 years old and above, saying this reflects the increasing health awareness among large segments of society, especially in the face of the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic almost 18 months ago.
The official told Al-Qabas the campaign is currently being implemented through 58 health centers, which kicked off on October 7 and will run through until December, pointing out that the aim of the campaign is to reduce infectious diseases in winter, mortality rates and complications resulting from such illnesses, especially among people who are most vulnerable to infection and complications.
The official indicated the turnout so far is expected to be acceptable, as daily vaccination rates vary from one center to another, and that 7 centers in the Ahmadi Health District receive about 100 visitors per day at each center, to receive influenza and pneumonia vaccinations.
