The Local Health Unit of Barcelos-Esposende implemented the use of devices that aim to minimize pain and discomfort in children during the vaccination process. The goal is to make the vaccination experience less traumatic for younger patients.
The devices are used specifically at the moment of vaccine administration, providing a sensation of relief to children who visit this health unit. This initiative comes in response to the need to improve pediatric care and reduce anxiety associated with needles.
The measure reflects a growing trend in the health sector to adopt strategies that prioritize patient well-being, especially when it comes to children.
