During June, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) issued an epidemiological alert warning of an increase in cases of the respiratory virus in South American countries.
One of them is influenza, a contagious respiratory illness caused by a virus that infects the nose, throat and, in some cases, the lungs. It can cause mild illness, but it can also lead to pneumonia or pneumonia.
Therefore, in order to allow more people to get vaccinated in a simple, safe and informed manner and reduce the chances of contracting such viruses, Profamilia offers this service at affordable prices in more than 50 clinics across the country.
Between October 2022 and March 2023, between October 2022 and March 2023, between 26 and 50 million influenza infections were registered globally, according to data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Based in Ibaguereño, at Carrera 4a # 31 – 95, Profamilia offers a broad portfolio of vaccines so that Ibaguereño people can protect themselves. Sandra Garcia, director of the Ibago Clinic, insisted that “prevention and immunization of the public can prevent the serious impact of respiratory infections when they are contagious, so the most important and effective measure to prevent influenza is to get vaccinated.”
Vaccines are used to boost the immune system to prevent and lessen the severity of infections, including those that cause serious and life-threatening diseases.
