Tetanus vaccination
Being protected against tetanus – explains Ausl – is particularly important, especially with the arrival of the hot season, when the desire to be outdoors grows and the risk of small, even trivial wounds increases, such as the sting of a rose thorn. , a scratch or splinter in the foot, which may be the gateway for the spores of the bacterium that causes tetanus. Vaccination is the most effective and safest way to prevent the disease.
Vaccination is free and the combined Diphtheria-Tetanus vaccine, or Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis, will also be offered to protect against these diseases, as recommended by the national and regional Vaccination Plans.
Vaccination against Papilloma virus
The vaccination will be available to girls under the age of 26 who have never been vaccinated before.
Preventing papilloma virus-HPV infections is important because they are associated with the development of tumors. Vaccination is actively offered to males and females at the age of 11. For girls, vaccination remains free until they turn 26, but vaccination is more effective the earlier it is carried out.
