"Have you taken the kids for vaccinations yet?"
That was the question that Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thuy (33 years old, living in District 8, Ho Chi Minh City) received from her mother (Mrs. Xuan) when Ms. Xuan visited Long Chau pharmacy near her house to buy medicine.
"My mother came home and asked me if I had taken the kids to get vaccinated yet because she heard the pharmacists in Long Chau mention the free measles vaccination program, so today I took my kids to Long Chau Vaccination. It's both to prevent the disease for my children and to avoid spreading it in the community," Ms. Thuy added.
Ms. Thuy also said that her mother was very worried and urged her to take her children to get vaccinated after hearing advice that the measles epidemic was still complicated, many infected children had to be hospitalized, so after the two children finished getting vaccinated, she called home to "report" to her mother immediately.
Vaccination not only helps protect the health of the children themselves but also contributes to creating a healthy community. She added that the vaccination process was very quick and convenient, the children were not afraid at all. She was very impressed with the enthusiasm and thoughtfulness of the medical staff at Long Chau Vaccination Center.
Many parents have brought their children to Long Chau Vaccination to participate in the free measles vaccination campaign.
As one of the parents who brought her child to get the free measles vaccination, Ms. Pham Thi Thu Hien (40 years old, living in District 5, Ho Chi Minh City) shared: "My child had already received the first injection, but because we were too busy and caught up in work, my husband and I did not remember to take our child for the second injection. Until we received a message on Zalo from Long Chau about the free measles vaccination campaign in Ho Chi Minh City. It was close to home, convenient in terms of time and had a safe vaccination process, so we decided to take our child for the vaccination."
Feeling that this was important information and that there might be many parents with young children who had not yet arranged to take their children for vaccinations like her, Ms. Hien quickly took a screenshot of the notice and immediately sent it to her colleagues and friends.
"I think sharing useful information like this will help mothers know and quickly take their children for vaccination, both to protect their children and to prevent the spread in the community ," Ms. Hien confided.
Making the most of every "touch point", Long Chau speeds up the speed of free measles vaccination in the area
With a network of nearly 300 pharmacies spread across Ho Chi Minh City, FPT Long Chau contacts thousands of customers every day. Deeply aware of its social responsibility, the unit has actively participated in the free measles vaccination campaign deployed by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health.
The role of the pharmacists at Long Chau is not only to advise on medicine, but also to convey information about public health. " The pharmacists at Long Chau have all become bridges, helping to spread information about the free measles vaccination campaign of the Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) of Ho Chi Minh City to customers quickly and effectively" - the representative of the unit shared.
In addition to introducing vaccination sites, pharmacist Long Chau also provides necessary knowledge about measles, helping people better understand the level of spread, dangerous complications and the importance of vaccination to protect the health of themselves and the community.
Customers are introduced to the campaign by pharmacists when they come to buy products at Long Chau Pharmacy.
In addition to covering hundreds of pharmacies in Ho Chi Minh City, the unit also advocates taking advantage of the "Long Chau - Drug Expert" application (nearly 4 million users), and the Zalo OA channel (nearly 12 million loyal customers) to carry out its own communication campaign in the area where the measles epidemic is taking place. By making the most of every "touch point", the unit has continuously sent notifications and messages to people about the measles prevention and control campaign, helping people to easily access information through many different channels, suitable to each person's needs and habits.
Through the evaluation, the representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health and the working delegation praised FPT Long Chau for effectively utilizing the "ecosystem", contributing to accelerating the rate of measles vaccination in the area.
Thanks to close coordination with the Department of Health and drastic implementation of the multi-channel campaign, Long Chau Vaccination expects the number of children aged 1 to 10 participating in vaccination to increase significantly, contributing to improving the effectiveness of the campaign, achieving the goal of protecting the community from epidemics.
