Messina is taking a proactive stance on community health with a dedicated prevention and awareness day focused on primary chronic diseases. The initiative, taking place in Piazza Cairoli, has already seen hundreds of residents receive vital vaccinations against the flu and the human papillomavirus (HPV).
A Multi-Agency Effort to Promote Well-being
The event, which runs until 5 pm today, was organized by the Messina Health Authority (ASP) in collaboration with the Municipality of Messina, Messina Social City, the Italian Red Cross, “G. Martino” hospital, and admires.
“The Messina Health Authority reiterates the importance of primary prevention and information, key elements for the health of the community.
”
We thank all those who participated and collaborated in this initiative, which is fundamental for the well-being of citizens”. Maria Gabriella Caruso, director of the Medical Prevention Department of the Health Company, said this today in Piazza Cairoli, where doctors were on hand to provide information and raise awareness about chronic degenerative diseases.
“Today’s initiative represents a fundamental step towards raising community awareness regarding health and prevention. It is important that citizens take care of their well-being and actively participate in these information and vaccination campaigns. The Municipality of Messina is always alongside the Health Company to promote the health of our fellow citizens.”
added Dr. Caruso.
Vaccinations: A Critical Shield Against Disease
During the event, a field clinic provided essential vaccinations against HPV and influenza. HPV vaccination is crucial in preventing cancers of the genital and oropharyngeal system, while flu vaccination shields against seasonal influenza, which can have severe consequences for vulnerable populations.
Salvatore Sidoti, director of the Epidemiological Prevention and Preventive Medicine Service of the ASP of Messina, emphasized the significance of vaccination: “Events like today’s are crucial to raise awareness among the population on the issues of prevention and health.
Vaccination is a critical tool to protect the community and reduce the risk of disease.
I thank all those who participated and contributed to this important initiative.”
