The Central Polyclinic of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine has started vaccination against influenza!

To prevent the flu epidemic, the Central Polyclinic of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine invites you to get a flu shot at the institution's polyclinic. The vaccination is carried out with a four-component vaccine "GC Flu quadrivalent" (GC Flu quadrivalent), manufactured by the South Korean pharmaceutical company Green Cross Corporation. The strain composition of the viral antigens contained in the JC Flu Quadrivalent vaccine complies with WHO recommendations for the 2021-2022 season.
Each year, the influenza epidemic season lasts approximately from September-October to March-April. During this period, there is the greatest risk of contracting a dangerous disease.
Influenza is a highly contagious viral disease with the possibility of severe complications and the risk of death. The source of infection in influenza is a sick person. An infected person with influenza is especially contagious amid the disease, in a feverish state. The infection period lasts an average of 4-7 days. The infection is transmitted mainly by airborne droplets.
Annual vaccination is the most effective way to protect the body against influenza viruses. The vaccine protects against all current strains of influenza and is safe and effective.
However, the severe form of the disease is characterized by rapidly progressive primary viral pneumonia, which, unlike bacterial pneumonia, is not sensitive to antibiotics and, without proper treatment, can be fatal within 24 hours after the first signs of complications.
Whatever the virus strain, it is worth remembering and following the most important simple rules. After all, influenza, like other respiratory viruses, is transmitted by airborne droplets and affects the respiratory system. Preventive measures are aimed primarily at increasing the body's resistance to the effects of influenza pathogens, as well as other ARI and ARDs.
So, simple things that save lives: avoid contact with sick people, use medical masks, avoid drying out the nasal mucous membranes, follow general hygiene rules, regularly ventilate the room and do wet cleaning, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and additionally protect yourself by getting vaccinated annually. An encounter with a virus without protective antibodies leads to illness.

Vaccination is free of charge.
