Guarulhos Expands Health Services with Weekend vaccination Drive
The Saúde Toda Programme is set to enhance access to health services for residents of Guarulhos with expanded vaccination efforts and extended hours at Basic Health Units.
This weekend, the Saúde Toda Program will continue its mission to improve health service accessibility for the Guarulhos community. From 9am to 3pm on Saturday (7) and Sunday (8), vaccination against influenza and yellow fever will be available at four supermarkets across the city. Additionally, four Basic Health Units (UBS) will extend their hours on saturday, operating from 8am to 4pm to provide essential care.
The selection of supermarkets for vaccination points was strategic, aiming to serve residents in all four health regions of Guarulhos. Immunization will be conducted at Assaí Atacadista (Region I – Center), Supermarket Probe in the Vila Rio neighborhood (region II – Cantareira), Barbosa Supermarkets, São João (region III – São João/Bonsucesso), and Nagumo Supermarkets in Jurema Park (region IV – peppers/cumbica).
Residents can conveniently combine their shopping trips with vaccinations. To receive immunization, individuals need only present an official photo document and, for children, their vaccination booklet to verify their vaccination status. Vaccines against influenza and yellow fever are available for individuals aged six months and older.
The UBS Vila Barros,Spring Garden,Jardim Fortaleza and Parque Jandaia will be open on Saturday,offering not only vaccinations but also services such as HIV,syphilis,and hepatitis B and C testing,blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring (with a medical request),wound dressings,and medication dispensing. Medical appointments and Pap smears will also be available by prior arrangement, which can be scheduled directly through the Guarulhos Saúde Unit: bit.ly/3e13wek.
