Doses will be available against 15 types of diseases
The State Department of Health Department promotes on Saturday (18) a campaign to catch up on the vaccination of 2.9 million children under five years old São Paulo. The objective is to check the booklet of vaccination and the doses applied in arrears. The campaign takes place on Saturday from 8h to 17h in about 4,000 health centers fixed and mobile across the state.
Will be available in all doses compared with 15 types of diseases such as polio, pneumonia, yellow fever, influenza, rotavirus and meningitis. It will also be available for the first time, the pentavalent vaccine, which immunizes against diseases diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, meningitis and hepatitis B.
The campaign is aimed primarily at children less than five years that the posts are taken by parents or guardians with a booklet of vaccination of children, an essential document to prove that doses have been applied, which are in arrears and which should be implemented in the months or years.
For those who have lost the booklet of vaccination for their children, the recommendation is to attend the same health facility where children previously vaccinated, so you can see the registration form in the files of the unit about which vaccines have already been applied or not . The campaign will continue until August 24.
