The paramedic from school 35 has no time to breathe: an educational institution received a flu vaccine. Those who refuse vaccination in 2020 have become significantly less. This means that the work has increased.
“Yes, this year many more parents wanted to get their children vaccinated against the flu, in previous years there was less consent. Probably, because of the situation that is now in the country, they are afraid,”said paramedic Angelina Malyshkina.
She says that even children seem to understand how important manipulation is: she does not hear the words “I don’t want”, “I will not” from them. The temperature of all was measured at the entrance to the school. Therefore, in the office, there is a short examination, an injection and instructions to everyone.
“Today do not get wet, do not wash, do not visit the pool and bathhouse, it is advisable not to walk. Tomorrow you can,”the paramedic instructed the students.
The second batch of anti-influenza vaccine for minors has already arrived in the Penza region - almost 71 thousand doses. The drug was brought to clinics, kindergartens and schools. In the 35th, the first delivery was enough for primary school students, now they inject mainly those who are older. Eleventh grader Anastasia Surkova says she is used to manipulation.
“I either have a strong immunity of some kind, or a flu shot helps me every year - I don't get sick at all,” the schoolgirl said.
More than 121,000 children are planned to be vaccinated against influenza in 2020. The first and second batch should be enough for 85% of those who wish. But the next delivery of the vaccine for adults is still awaiting. She should arrive any day, according to the Ministry of Health.
