Reviews about the medical center
Patients leave positive feedback about the Fontanka Vaccination Center. People note that the vaccination course is carried out under the close supervision of a general practitioner. The therapist or pediatrician schedules a schedule for administering vaccines and examines the patient before each injection. Nurses are always ready to inform the client about the quality, shelf life and effects of the vaccines. Here you do not have to sit in queues for a long time, vaccinations and specialist appointments are carried out promptly. People often turn to this medical center for urgent vaccination for a physical examination or travel abroad.
The medical staff is trying to do everything so that the child is not afraid of injections. There are toys in the halls, a pleasant homely atmosphere is created. For babies there is a room for feeding and changing tables. Doctors are attentive to their small patients. The day after vaccination, the pediatrician calls the baby's parents and inquires about his health. In order to avoid negative symptoms, the child is being consulted by an immunologist and an allergist. A prerequisite for vaccination is the presentation of the results of blood and urine tests. At the slightest deviation in the results of laboratory diagnostics, the vaccination course is postponed.
Negative reviews are mainly associated with side effects after vaccination. However, this does not always depend on the medical staff of the institution. Undesirable effects are usually the result of contraindications to vaccination or hypersensitivity to drugs. Before carrying out immunoprophylaxis, the doctors of this center always offer the patient to fill out a questionnaire, where it is necessary to indicate all the diseases and allergic reactions. This will help the specialist identify contraindications. It is necessary to take this issue very seriously. Often, the side effects after vaccinations were associated with the fact that the patient forgot to indicate one of the diseases that had occurred, in which immunoprophylaxis is contraindicated.
The disadvantages include the fact that the necessary vaccines are not always available. This mainly applies to drugs for rare vaccinations: from rotavirus, from HPV, from hemophilic bacillus. Sometimes you have to wait a while until these vaccines appear in the medical center. Preparations for the necessary routine vaccinations are usually always available. At present, the supply of immunization prophylaxis to the medical center has improved significantly.
