Its potential will continue to examine. At this moment no one can say whether it will again start from the swine flu illness or not - says Dr. Cohn. According to him, the epidemiological situation is uncertain. Small vaccinated According to the Institute for Public Health "Dr Milan Jovanovic Batut", of 17.12.2009. year to the end of February this year vaccinated against swine flu was 149,698 persons. More than half cepljenih belongs to chronic patients. Of the total number of vaccinated healthy persons constitute 31.2 per cent, while only four percent of the vaccine spent for health care workers.

And that happens again a strong wave of swine influenza in Serbia and the authorities invite the citizens to be vaccinated, they would not listen to them.

On the other hand, citizens have lost confidence in the political part of the problem. Basically it is completely valid vaccination against influenza, but the medical endeavor to protect the population perished due to politicians that it was carried out, because in all that sure runs a story about money and confidence. Who took the money and bought their citizens what is good? World Health Organization is trying to create a way to manage pandemics in the world. It is a gigantic undertaking, but "break the teeth" in the world that "the political side of the swine flu" - explains the expert.
