Flu shot

The flu can get complicated and develop into a very serious illness. In these cases, diseases such as bacterial pneumonia secondary to the viral disease or respiratory insufficiency may develop. These diseases can be extremely serious, and even cause death. There are populations that are at increased risk of developing the complications of the disease, including the elderly, infants, patients with chronic lung diseases and people suffering from suppression of the immune system. Comprehensive vaccination of the population, in particular of populations that are in risk groups, is an effective means of preventing the flu and its complications. It is recommended to get vaccinated upon receiving a notification about your eligibility for vaccination.

Pneumococcal vaccine

Pneumonia is an infectious disease of the lungs. The symptoms of the disease usually include difficulty breathing, cough, chest pain and fever. In cases where the source of the infection is bacterial, the disease is treated with antibiotics, in severe cases some patients need hospitalization. The pneumococcal bacterium is the most common bacterium in the healthy population, which may also cause pneumonia. Get vaccinated.
