Proactively prevent summer diseases

Get vaccinated fully and on schedule to effectively prevent disease.

According to the report of CDC Quang Ninh, in the first 3 months of the year, the epidemic situation in the province was relatively stable. However, some infectious diseases with vaccines in the expanded immunization program increased, such as whooping cough with 9 positive cases, measles with 218 positive cases. In addition, the province recorded 39 cases of hand, foot and mouth disease, 31 cases of dengue fever, 2 cases of Covid-19, the number of cases all decreased compared to the same period in 2024...

However, many parents are still subjective about vaccinating their children, thinking that if their children have had a disease, they do not need to be vaccinated, delaying vaccination, making them susceptible to reinfection or other diseases. Antibiotic abuse is also quite common. When children show signs of fever or are suspected of having an illness, many parents arbitrarily buy medicine, especially antibiotics, without a doctor's prescription, leading to the risk of drug resistance and long-term effects on health. In addition, not paying attention to hand hygiene for children is also a worrying issue. Young children often come into contact with objects and the surrounding environment, if they do not wash their hands properly, the risk of infection will increase.

Older sister   Ly Thi Quy (Don Dac commune, Ba Che district)   said:   I have 2 sons ,   Every year, when the weather is hot   the   My child is prone to fever, cough, and sometimes rashes. I was told by the doctor that in the summer, children are susceptible to illness due to changes in the weather, food spoils easily, and there are more mosquitoes... Every time I take my child to the Commune Health Station for a check-up, the doctors   doctors all advise   must keep clean, give children enough food and drink .

People bring their children to the Don Dac Commune Health Station (Ba Che District).

The peak summer tourism season of 2025 is approaching, leading to increased demand for trade and tourism. This is also a favorable condition for infectious diseases to spread. In order to help people proactively prevent common diseases in the summer, Master, Doctor Nguyen Van Hung, Deputy Head of the Department of Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, CDC Quang Ninh, recommends that people proactively implement a number of important measures such as: Eating cooked food, drinking boiled water, ensuring food hygiene and safety is the best way to prevent diseases of digestive disorders, gastrointestinal infections, especially acute diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid... Wash your hands regularly with soap, especially before eating and after using the toilet. Clean your living space, do not leave stagnant water to prevent mosquito breeding. Regularly clean and tidy your house, wash surfaces, utensils, learning materials, toys that can be exposed to pathogens that cause infectious diseases, especially in schools...

Doctors also recommend that vaccinating children fully and on schedule is the most effective measure to create active immunity to help prevent many dangerous infectious diseases.   Eat enough nutrients, supplement vitamins from green vegetables and fruits.   Exercise regularly to improve your health.   When there are symptoms of suspected illness, go to a medical facility for timely examination and treatment, avoid self-medication.   use home remedies

Proactively preventing diseases in the summer not only helps protect personal health but also plays an important role in controlling and preventing the spread of diseases in the community.
