🚨 FIRST CHIKUNGUNYA VACCINE IN THE UK! 🚨

We’re proud to announce that CityDoc is among the first specialist travel clinics in the UK to offer the brand new chikungunya vaccine, officially released today!

🦟 Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne virus found in parts of South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Asia.

💥 It can cause severe joint pain—especially in the hands and feet—that can last weeks, or even months to years in some cases.

Today, we vaccinated our first patient, who is preparing for a 6-month journey across South America. 💉✈️🌎

🌍 On World Mosquito Day, let's take a moment to highlight the serious threat posed by mosquito-borne diseases and recognize the ongoing efforts to combat one of the world's deadliest creatures.
🦟 Mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting dangerous diseases such as Chikungunya, dengue, lymphatic filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, malaria, Rift Valley fever, yellow fever, and Zika virus. Every year, these tiny insects kill over 600,000 people through malaria alone, while hundreds of millions suffer from dengue and malaria.
⚠️ The spread of mosquito-borne infections, especially dengue, has surged in recent years. However, many of these diseases are preventable through protective measures and community action.
