【Do not put off regular vaccinations for children! Shisei Dayori September (6)】

Perhaps some people hesitate to go to see a doctor because of the spread of COVID-19, but regular vaccinations for children are not unnecessary nor un-urgent. make sure to get vaccinated at the desired age. 

【Why it is better to get vaccinated at designated age?】
It is because it is determined based on the age at which children are susceptible to each infection. If inoculations are put off, they may suffer from serious infections because acquisition of immunity may be delayed.

【Let’s protect emergency medical care! Shisei Dayori, September(8)】

September 9th is “First Aid Day” and September 5th - 11th is “Emergency Medical Week”. Why don't we think about emergency medical care?Thanks to a lot of doctors, nurses, and medical staff, the emergency medical care system is maintained in Kumamoto City. However, it cannot be maintained if the number of “convenience store consultation”, which is not-urgent consultation at night, increases. Since the number of medical workers are limited at night and on holidays, treatment for those who are in an emergency may be delayed and the burden on them becomes heavy. Do not go to see a doctor outside consultation hours just because  it is not crowded at night. Make sure to go to a clinic in the consultation hours if it is not urgent.
