Santiago del Estero has launched a comprehensive campaign to combat dengue fever, with healthcare centers and local governments mobilizing to vaccinate eligible residents. The initiative aims to immunize individuals aged 9 to 45, with the goal of preventing the spread of the disease.
Amplifying vaccination efforts, the capital and suburban neighborhoods have seen an increase in available vaccination points. The Municipalidad de La Banda has announced the start of its dengue vaccination campaign in the city’s healthcare centers, with the goal of protecting its residents from the virus.
The campaign has received support from community leaders and healthcare providers, who encourage eligible individuals to receive the vaccine. The Santiago del Estero Center for Health (CIS) has also called on residents to participate in the vaccination drive, emphasizing the importance of collective effort in preventing dengue outbreaks.
As the campaign gains momentum, health authorities remind the public that vaccination is just one aspect of dengue prevention. They urge residents to eliminate breeding grounds for mosquitoes by removing standing water, using mosquito repellents, and installing window screens.
The vaccination campaign against dengue fever in Santiago del Estero began today, with healthcare centers across the city administering the vaccine. Health officials stress the importance of receiving the vaccine, even if an individual has already been infected, as immunity can wane over time.
