In Louveira, the vaccine is available in all Basic Health Units (UBS)

Louveira City Hall extends the flu vaccine (Influenza) to everyone over six months of age. In Louveira, the vaccine is available in all Basic Health Units (UBS). The determination took place this Wednesday, May 1, by the Ministry of Health, due to the overload in care units throughout Brazil due to flu-like symptoms and dengue fever. Check below the addresses and opening hours of all UBS’s.

When visiting homes to combat dengue fever, the Health Surveillance team takes advantage of the moment to offer the flu vaccine to the resident, who, if he agrees, is immunized at the same time.

The Department of Health highlights the importance of being up to date with vaccines, which is an essential pillar for disease prevention.
