Vaccine shipment arrives at second-largest city's hospital
In Biysk City, the flu vaccination campaign has commenced as part of the region-wide initiative to protect residents from the seasonal flu. Biysk City Hospital No. 2 is at the forefront of this effort, with several clinics offering the vaccines to eligible individuals.
Clinic No. 1 (Decembrists St., 1), Clinic No. 3 (Viktor Petrov St., 30), Clinic No. 2 (Lenin St., 94), Clinic No. 4 (Stepan Razin St., 61), and Clinic No. 5 (Miron St., 7) all operate from 08:00 to 16:00, with a break from 12:00 to 12:30. However, specific hours for at-risk groups at Biysk City Hospital No. 2 could not be found at this time. It is recommended to contact the hospital directly or check their official website for up-to-date information regarding vaccination schedules tailored to at-risk groups.
The initial batch of flu vaccines consisted of 7,800 doses, and the first batch has already arrived at Biysk City Hospital No. 2. The vaccines "Sovigrip" and "Flu-M" are now available in all clinics of the hospital.
The flu can cause serious complications, making preventive vaccination crucial. Specialists are primarily vaccinating people from at-risk groups, including pensioners, individuals with chronic illnesses, social workers, and communal services employees. Biysk residents attached to the hospital can already get vaccinated. Preventive vaccination against the flu reduces the load on medical facilities during peak illness periods.
Galina Oсокиna, the Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Outpatient Care at Biysk City Hospital No. 2, is leading the vaccination effort. It is recommended to get vaccinated against the flu annually, preferably in August-September, to ensure optimal protection throughout the flu season.
The flu vaccination campaign has started in the Altai region, and Biysk City Hospital No. 2 is playing a significant role in protecting its residents from the seasonal flu. Stay informed and take the necessary steps to protect your health and the health of those around you.
- Given the flu vaccination campaign in Biysk City, people from at-risk groups may find it beneficial to seek health-and-wellness advice, as they are a primary focus for preventive vaccination, including pensioners, individuals with chronic illnesses, social workers, and communal services employees.
- At Biysk City Hospital No. 2, unlike other clinics, specific vaccination hours for at-risk groups could not be found, making it essential for individuals from these groups to consult with mental-health professionals and reach out to the hospital directly or check their official website for up-to-date information to prioritize their health and wellbeing, as the flu can cause serious complications.
