All of the above indicators are evidence that immunization of the population against infectious diseases plays an important role in disease prevention,” said Gulnaz Dosmyrzaeva, Deputy Head of the City Public Health Department.
To date, about 300 children are being treated at the capital's children's infectious diseases hospital, more than 100 have been diagnosed with acute respiratory viral infections. Most of the patients, especially those with complications, were not vaccinated.
