Manzur presented the results of the campaign against influenza A

Health Minister presented to President Cristina Kirchner the results of the campaign against influenza A, which showed an almost total reduction of the fatal cases, as part of a plan for prevention of other conditions with prevalence in winter

The report, presented at the Scientific Hall of Government House, said that the deployment of 10 million vaccines and preventive measures in 2010 influenza virus H1N1 "practically does not circulate."

The influenza A resulted in 2009 over 9000 cases and 580 deaths, while in 2010, a product of the campaign, only 22 were confirmed.

The report said that so far in 2010 were 11 912 reported cases of Influenza Type Disease (ETI), which in 2009 was 1,163,443.

Last year, the report said, 92.8 percent of virus circulation in patients 5 years or more accounted for Influenza virus A (H1N1), "while in 2010 represents only 2 percent."

The Winter Campaign was implemented in February 2010 after being agreed with officials of the health portfolios of the provinces and representatives of scientific and academic communities.

The strategy focused on the National Vaccination Campaign for the new Influenza A H1N1 virus.

In this context, the state purchased 12 million doses, of which 10.8 million were monovalent and trivalent 1.2 million, which were applied over a period of six months to five target populations.

In June, two weeks before the onset of winter, the campaign achieved the goal of 80 percent coverage of vulnerable populations, while the national average at present to reach 93.2 percent, its report said Manzur.

The Winter Campaign included infection control measures, timely access to antiviral, comprehensive surveillance and vaccination to reduce the impact of other respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and whooping cough, the study reported.

"Argentina could turn the threat into opportunity. On the one hand, we began the process that will lead to domestic production of influenza vaccine," said Manzur.

The minister stressed that the campaign was able to "install the relevance of respiratory diseases beyond the pandemic and to strengthen regular immunization schedule."

The event was attended by health ministers from different provinces, representatives of scientific societies and deans of medical schools in the country.
