I realise that there has been some concern and questions as to whether patients should receive influenza vaccines this year, especially as many people have had Covid vaccines, or have had Covid, or are planning Covid vaccination.

Whether you have detected COVID-19 symptoms, require an Official COVID-19 Certificate for travelling purposes or if you’re wondering if you’ve previously had coronavirus — contact your local AMC.

All our Clinics are contacted every day about the future availability of Covid-19 vaccinations and to a lesser extent about their safety and I will try in this newsletter to set out the current situation with vaccines.

To stay safe, there are a number of steps schools should take to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The European Commission has come up with guidelines and recommendations to help countries coordinate the safe lifting of travel restrictions.

Used properly, most common household disinfectants will kill the virus that causes COVID-19.

American Medical Centers Almaty has begun issuing official COVID-19 Health Certificates. You may require a Covid-19 Free Document on returning to work or travel. The AMC’s COVID-19 Health Passport will certify that you do not have an active COVID-19 infection and / or you are immune to SARS-CoV-2.

Dear friends!

This protocol will include ideas on the many ways to support your immune system. We hope this will help you reduce the risk of acquiring the coronavirus or reduce the severity or duration of an infection. We will focus on the value of healthy lifestyle—including sleep, stress management, dietary approaches, and supplements.

Thank you for staying with us in this rough time. Quarantine can be beneficial to start taking care of ourselves. That ultimately means —  to emerge with a brand new level of immunity.

With a continuing number of cases of Wuhan virus – some 7,711 in China there is obviously continued concern about the spread of virus, although to date very few cases have been diagnosed in Europe and none in the countries where AMC Clinics operate – Ukraine, Georgia and Kazakhstan.
