Umeoka Ladies Clinic
About
Umeoka Ladies Clinic, located in Takehara-cho, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, is a medical clinic specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. The clinic offers services in English and has established a system to accommodate those who require English-language consultations. Payment methods include credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments, and parking is available. The clinic focuses on health management for pregnant women and provides influenza vaccinations for expectant mothers from October 1st to December 27th. The vaccination fee is 3,300 yen and requires an appointment. On the day of vaccination, patients are asked to wear clothing with easily accessible arms and bring their maternal and child health handbook. Since pregnant women have lowered immunity and are more susceptible to infection, vaccination is an important measure to protect both mother and baby. It is said that if vaccinated during late pregnancy, antibodies are passed on to the newborn baby. If influenza-positive during delivery, infection control measures are implemented by having both the mother and support person wear masks. Response protocols for hospitalization with influenza are clearly established, with isolation in private rooms and appropriate care based on the baby's condition, prioritizing the safety of both mother and child.
