Rospotrebnadzor reminded Ryazan residents of the need for routine vaccination

Representatives of Rospotrebnadzor in the Ryazan region reminded residents of the region of the importance of regular vaccination. Experts emphasize that many mistakenly believe that childhood vaccinations are enough for life, but immunity persists only for a limited time.

The department specified that every ten years it is necessary to undergo a revaccination against diphtheria and tetanus. It is also important to follow the vaccination schedule for measles and viral hepatitis B.

Before the start of the epidemic season, it is recommended to get a flu shot. For citizens over 60 years of age, the disease often occurs with complications. Vaccination reduces the risk of infection, and in the case of a disease - to transfer it in a lighter form.

Residents with respiratory problems are advised to get vaccinated against pneumococcal infection. In addition, when planning travel, doctors recommend choosing additional vaccines depending on the country of destination.
