Pediatricians urgently call for more people to get vaccinated this fall
Ontario pediatricians say their requests for monetary and logistical assistance needed to make more influenza vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic have not been heard so far and that an “imminent crisis” can occur. “We need to express our urgent considerations about a drawing shut down the flu vaccination crisis,” said an online petition filed Saturday in Change. org through the pediatrics segment of the Ontario Medical Association. “Today, public aptitude seems to be awaiting the prestige of past years, when individual medical offices and dispersed influenza clinics administered flu vaccines.
Public fitness officials and fitness experts are under pressure on the importance of getting vaccinated against the flu this year to avoid further overloading the health care formula with the pandemic. Pediatricians say the coronavirus epidemic makes it more critical than ever for young people to get away with the flu, not only because the flu can seriously make them sick, but also because they can seamlessly transmit the virus to vulnerable people, such as the elderly, for whom both influenza and COVID-19 can be very dangerous.
But fitness service providers may not be able to administer nearly the overall number of flu vaccines in their offices and clinics this year, they say, because of COVID-19 protection protocols, such as getting rid of crowded waiting rooms, only serving patients. and the time it takes for rigorous cleaning and disinfection of exam rooms between each vaccination. The solution, they say, is to “plan large-scale influenza vaccination clinics across the province” that would be held in giant physical distance rooms, as well as outdoor clinics or driving clinics behind the wheel. “This would ensure that we can safely distribute the flu vaccine across the province in giant amounts, temporarily and efficiently,” the petition says.
