Vaccinations: why do we need it?

Nowadays, we see many changes in humans’ lifestyles, as well as the environment, which cause human immunity to weaken. As a result, we need vaccines to prevent ourselves and our families from contracting those diseases.

In day-to-day life, we hear many names associated with vaccines against different diseases. The best preventive approach to health problems is vaccination, and it is recommended for adults based on their age, occupation, travel plans, and health status.

We can provide the following vaccinations based on the need: Tetanus vaccination, annual flu vaccination, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, and Hepatitis B, measles, mumps and rubella, rabies.

In the present day, we see how the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and has presented unprecedented challenges to public health, food systems, and the workforce.

If we wish to defeat COVID19, we must take both doses of the vaccine as soon as possible.

It is the same as how seasonal flu affects our lives and our loved ones each year through the airways.

The Influenza infection causes inflammation of the airways and can be very contagious. It can affect people of any age group. Despite its mild nature, this illness can cause serious complications in otherwise healthy people. A person could be hospitalized or even die because of it.

Influenza vaccination is a safe and effective method of protecting yourself against serious diseases from influenza.

It is also beneficial to get vaccinated against influenza in order to provide protection to other people, especially those who are too ill or too young to be immunized. More people who are vaccinated in your community means fewer chances of the disease spreading.

Because of that, Emerald Hills Medical Centre provides flu shots each year to the public and local businesses.
