ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 22nd Nov, 2018) Abu Dhabi Smart Solutions and Services Authority, ADSSSA, in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company, SEHA, organised influenza vaccination campaign for its employees as a preventive measure to contain the spread of the virus.
The campaign aims to increase awareness among all members of the community, about the need for timely vaccination, provision of adequate vaccines for the target groups, vaccinating the maximum number of people and reducing the health, economic and social burden of influenza.
Influenza is a seasonal illness and its severity varies according to the immunity level of the affected person.
However, pregnant women, children, the elderly and people with chronic diseases are more susceptible to complications, and the aim of the vaccination campaign is to reduce its occurrence in these vulnerable groups.
Mohammed Al Shehhi, Executive Director of Support Services at Smart Solutions and Services Authority said, "The campaign coincided with the start of the influenza season, so that the necessary preventive action could be taken in response to the objectives of the Ministry of Health and Prevention, MoHAP, to provide comprehensive and integrated healthcare in innovative and sustainable ways, ensuring the community’s protection against the illness."
