Most Ukrainians ignore preventive examinations and do not renew vaccinations

More than half of Ukrainians go to the doctor only in case of urgent need, and vaccinations regularly renew only 20% of citizens. Such results were shown by a survey conducted by Rakuten Viber, which was attended by about 40,000 users.

Asked about the passing of preventive examinations, 56% answered that they attend a doctor only in case of health problems. Regular annual reviews are only 19%, another 12% try to do it, but they are not always able to. 11% said they were inspected irregularly, and 2% said they trust only folk medicine.

The vaccination situation is even less optimistic. Only 11% of the respondents are regularly renewed, and 7% are selective. The largest proportion of respondents (38%) mentioned vaccination only in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. At the same time, 26% reported that they received vaccinations only in childhood, and 16% are not vaccinated at all.

The survey also revealed the age structure of the respondents: more than half of the respondents are Ukrainians under 45, and the main active group - at the age of 34-45.

Experts emphasize that neglect of planned examinations and vaccinations increases the risks of serious illnesses that could be prevented. In the conditions of war and unstable medical system, this problem becomes even more acute.
