The influenza vaccine began to drop in March in the public sector free of health personnel, children under 5, among other risk groups.

I was afraid of not getting the vaccine," she told Ana Rodriguez, 35 years and mother of two kids, Clarin, coming out of a flood the vaccination Corrientes 4400. In contrast, other mothers were not so lucky. "In some places, like Vacumed not attending the phone, and in others as a vaccine is to queue from 6 in the morning and you do not know if they will give the dose. I'm embarrassed," said Ximena N. 40.

Dr. Stambouli Centers shifts were yesterday mid-May, although it was difficult to call. In other places directly responded: "We do not know when to return for vaccination. We will post notices on our website," they said in Cepem a Moron the vaccination. Why should the strong demand in the private sector? "We must bear in mind that until last year, less than 4 million people were vaccinated against the flu. This year, the fear that left last year pandemic causes more people to attend. We must wait for further doses and continue to prevention, such as washing hands, "advised the infectious diseases Teresa Zitt.
