As the end of February approaches and schools reopen, the Argentine government is reiterating the importance of vaccinations for children. Parents are being reminded to check the vaccination calendar to ensure their children receive the necessary doses to attend school. This is particularly critical due to recent concerns over a measles outbreak, which has heightened the need for compliance with vaccination requirements.

The latest announcements from health officials include specific vaccinations required for children based on their age before they can start school. For newborns, for instance, a single dose of BCG and further immunizations are mandated. Additionally, with the emergence of a new influenza variant in Argentina, the government is expediting its flu vaccination campaign to protect the public, especially vulnerable populations.

This focus on vaccinations reflects a broader public health initiative aimed at preventing the spread of preventable diseases in young children, as education resumes. Authorities emphasize that staying on top of vaccinations not only ensures children's health but also promotes a safer school environment for everyone involved.
