Encourage Almaty residents to not disregard the influenza vaccination - Nadirov's advice
Rewritten Article:
Hey there!
Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Almaty's Public Health Department has been pushing hard on getting people vaccinated—and for a good reason. According to Kamaljan Nadyrov, the shiny head of the department, there's a real risk that COVID could collide with seasonal diseases, and nobody wants that!
As Nadyrov told Almaty.tv (citing the city akimat press service), getting vaccinated is crucial because this year looks grim with the possibility of COVID-19 and other nasties buzzing around at the same time. "Take it from me, Almaty peeps," he urged, "don't ignore the shout-out to get vaccinated. Catching the flu or cold while dealing with COVID? Ain't no fun. And the vaccine we've got our hands on is top-notch and safe!
By the way, thanks to the local budget, 130,000 jabs of the trivalent anti-flu vaccine "Grippol Plus" are on the house for at-risk groups. And come October, we’ll have an additional 300,000 doses incoming to cover more ground. Speaking of ground, the vaccination period kicked off earlier this year because of COVID, and it's gonna last 'til early December."
Although the nitty-gritty details about the "Grippol Plus" vaccine might be under wraps, let's talk benefits when it comes to a trivalent anti-flu vaccine during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's the scoop:
1. Risk Reduction: With COVID and other flu-like viruses creeping around all over the place, getting vaccinated keeps the risk of co-infections and complications to a minimum.
2. Healthcare Relief: By reducing the flu caseload, the healthcare system can concentrate more resources on treating COVID patients and lessen the load on hospitals.
3. Immune Boost: A trivalent vaccine offers three-pronged protection against flu viruses. That's broad coverage for anyone in Almaty caught in the crossfire.
4. Shielding the Vulnerable: Vaccination helps safeguard the elderly and folks with compromised immune systems by keeping flu viruses at bay in the community.
5. Prevention of Bacterial Infections: Influenza can lead to secondary infections or worsen pre-existing conditions. Vaccination can thwart these complications.
Remember, complying with Almaty's health guidelines is key. Also, flu season patterns can affect vaccine effectiveness, so staying tuned to local trends can help you make the best decisions. And finally, using both flu and COVID-19 vaccines as directed provides added security against respiratory ailments.
Stay healthy, Almaty!
