This is a baby 1 year of Paran?, which was serious but is now stable. They had not been vaccinated. Intensified control measures and prevention of respiratory diseases.




The Ministry of Health of the province was reported that the Malbr?n Institute confirmed a case of a child a year affected by influenza A, which was not vaccinated. That is why vaccination is recommended again as a basic measure of prevention.

The boy remains hospitalized in Parana and health complications, but in the last hours "improved and is now stable," according to UNO Secretary of Health Management, Ministry of Health, Pablo Basso.

Basso stressed the need for the population in risk groups are approaching hospitals and clinics to be vaccinated, because the province "has not reached that percentage should reach vaccination in children 6 months to 5. This must be done before you have an outbreak. "

The official explained that the national government requires that throughout the campaign will reach at least 80% vaccination in each of the populations at risk, a percentage that has been reached in Entre Rios, except in the case of children under 5 years, which is "going to 60%."

He also admitted that some suspects, whose samples are expected to be resolved at the Institute Malbr?n and others were discarded.

More prevention by cold

The Ministry of Health decided to step up control and prevention of respiratory disease before the arrival of cold, especially influenza A (H1N1), and reiterated that the province has the vaccine for those at risk, particularly for pregnant women and children under 5 and people over 65 - in all health centers and public hospitals in the province.

The health portfolio provided that through the so-called "sentinel units" will intensify the monitoring of all respiratory cases are recorded in the province. This was announced by the director of epidemiology, Silvina Saavedra, who stressed that "the health minister, ?ngel Giano has instructed all dependent areas of this portfolio to meet the current sanitary standards and control the respiratory cases, intensifying prevention recommendations .

Saavedra said that "Entre Rios has trained all staff in specific areas for reception and give timely attention to cases that are recorded, but" he pointed out is due mainly to emphasize prevention, "because" what is essential is that people access to the vaccine that is available in health centers and public hospitals. "

Saavedra said that "there can be no pregnancy, no child under 5 years, no person over 65 years, nor any person falling under the non-vaccinated groups at risk" and clarified that "should appeal to the responsibility parents to their little ones vaccinated, even more so in cases of children under three years that require a second dose. "

The vaccination schedule provides that for children between 6 months and 3 years should receive two doses of the vaccine against influenza A (H1N1) and between 3 and 5 years one, which are available free at all vaccination centers.

Saavedra said that "control is being done through the monitoring of all respiratory cases to act immediately" and recalled that "even though the virus continued to circulate throughout the year, around this time of winter is expected to return getting heavier so-said-it must implement the guidelines on prevention.
