According to the World Health Organization, vaccinations each year help prevent 2 to 3 million deaths from diseases such as diphtheria, pertussis, measles or tetanus.
Vaccination is “military training”: it prepares the immune system so that when faced with a real threat, the human body can respond adequately. The vaccine contains a small dose of the pathogen, due to which antibodies are formed that protect against a severe course of the disease.
Remember, it is important to monitor your health condition and visit a doctor on time.
Do not neglect the basic safety rules, including:
- Wash hands thoroughly and frequently with soap or treat them with antiseptic;
- avoid crowds of people;
- keep a social distance of 1.5 m;
- use a protective mask;
- if you get sick, stay at home.
We call on all employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be vaccinated against COVID-19, because this is the only way to overcome the pandemic!
