In less than a month, 100 people were infected with influenza A H1N1 and one woman died of the same cause.
This is the latest report by the Ministry of Health, which runs from December 16, 2009 to yesterday. With the new 1867 figure are now confirmed cases of people who acquired the virus.
The recent death occurred last Sunday and is a 25 year old woman with multiple risk factors who was in a place of care in Alajuela. With her and are 48 deaths from this evil in the country.
In addition to this victim, there are three more cases of people suspected of virus died during the last month. At present these situations are under investigation.
With respect to the arrival of the second wave, the estimates are still arriving in late January and early February.
"The virus continues to circulate, it still occurs, but we have not seen a peak, ie we are not yet in the second wave," said Ana Morice, vice minister of Health.
Vaccination against pandemic influenza in the northern hemisphere of the world, particularly in Europe, USA, Mexico and Canada helps soothe the blow of the second wave in Costa Rica.
"If other countries where people are immune, it makes less infected with the virus from entering our own," said Morice.
Despite this, the ideal is that the first 200 thousand doses join sooner for people with risk factors in Costa Rica received before the arrival of the second wave.
But when will this time remains a mystery to the national authorities. This is expected even for the week of 4 to 10 January.
In the last contact with the Pan American Health Organization, which he bought the vaccines through the Revolving Fund, said the French pharmaceutical Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines from which they come to Costa Rica, they are ready, but sent not been done by a strike by its workers.
Apparently the strike is due to the demand for workers in a 3% increase in salary.
"We do not have certainty of arrival, we hope to resolve the problem as soon as possible and that from today (yesterday) and tomorrow (today) tell us to come flying in vaccines," said Morice.
Despite obstacles and delays in the vaccine that have been submitted, the Ministry of Health considers that the global management of the situation has been effectively.
For its part of the Ministry of Health is prepared to have the shots.
"The situation in the country is stable, but one is afraid in this climate, however we are ready to come vaccines," said Maria Luisa Avila, Minister of Health
