The Ministry of Health has set a goal of immunizing at least 90% of each of the priority groups against influenza. The only contraindication to the application of the vaccine is for people who are allergic to egg protein or who have had a severe (anaphylactic) reaction when receiving the vaccine in previous campaigns.
The first phase of the influenza vaccination campaign continues until April 30 and beyond the Karajas point, the vaccine is available, Monday through Friday, at health units in Maceió.
documentation
To get vaccinated, seniors must present their vaccination card and photo ID. On the other hand, health workers need to provide an original and a copy of documents that prove their current professional practice, such as a class board card, badge, updated salary, or a statement from the health institution in which they work or are carrying out a training course. Copies of these vouchers will be kept by the vaccination team.
