The National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) has officially launched its seasonal influenza vaccination campaign on,Sunday.
The initiative, which runs until the end of the month, is part of a broader effort to bolster community immunity and protect public health.
According to the centre, the campaign aims to prevent infections among healthcare workers, ensuring the safety of medical service recipients, especially those at high risk of complications. Officials have stressed that vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent the spread of influenza.
The campaign specifically targets vulnerable groups, including senior citizens aged 55 and above, children aged 6 months to 18 years, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart conditions. Healthcare workers are also a priority group to ensure the safety of the sector as a whole.
In addition to providing vaccines, the campaign places a strong emphasis on raising public awareness about the importance of prevention and aims to ensure the widest possible reach for vaccinations among citizens.
