Yevhen Kuzyk emphasized to the cadets that vaccination is the most reliable way to save yourself and your family from a dangerous disease.

"All vaccines used in Ukraine are certified, safe, and effective," the head of the clinic said.

The doctor refuted the most common myths about vaccination.

                              

"There is an opinion that vaccination can cause disease. This is not true, because the vaccine does not contain a virus. When it enters the body, it causes a cascade of immune reactions, and thus develops general immunity against coronavirus," explained Yevhen Kuzyk.

The representative of the institution noted that all the doctors who provide vaccinations and are part of mobile medical teams have undergone appropriate practical training and education.
