Preventing DHF "The Importance of Vaccination as the Strongest Shield for Children and Adults"

Dengue fever, or dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), is still a serious threat to public health in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. The virus transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito can cause serious symptoms and even death if not treated quickly. In an effort to protect yourself and those closest to you, vaccination is one of the most important steps, and Hermina Samarinda Hospital plays a role in providing the dengue vaccine.

Vaccination is the most effective way to protect the body from infectious diseases, including dengue fever. By giving the vaccine, the body will produce immunity against the virus so that it can fight infection better. It is important to remember that dengue fever is not a trivial disease, and its effects can be very serious, especially in children and adults.

The dengue vaccine aims to train the body's immune system to recognise and fight the virus that causes dengue fever. By giving this vaccine, the body will create a strong defence so that if exposed to the virus, the risk of getting dengue fever will be reduced significantly. This is not only protection for the vaccinated individual but also helps prevent the spread of the disease in the community.

Often, there are some doubts or myths surrounding vaccination that can hinder prevention efforts. It is important to debunk these myths and present clear facts. The dengue vaccine has gone through a series of rigorous clinical trials and has been proven to be safe and effective.

Vaccination also has a strategic role in reducing the burden of disease in health facilities. By preventing dengue cases from occurring, we can avoid a surge in demand for medical care that could cause excessive pressure on the health system. In other words, vaccination not only benefits individuals directly but also society as a whole.

It is important to remember that vaccination is not only an individual responsibility but also a collective responsibility to create a strong layer of protection in society. By prioritising vaccination as a preventive measure, we can build an effective collective defence against dengue fever. Hermina Samarinda Hospital is committed to providing the best health services, including efforts to prevent dengue fever. This hospital provides the dengue vaccine as an effective preventive measure. The vaccines available at Hermina Samarinda Hospital have gone through clinical trials and meet strict safety and effectiveness standards.

Vaccination is an investment in personal and community health.

Let's together protect ourselves, our families, and society from the threat of dengue fever by understanding and taking appropriate preventive steps.
