Andalusian Flu rate for week 46, last updated data, and comprising from 14 to 20 November, stood at the 10.52 per 100,000 inhabitants, bringing the number of infections of the virus circulating in community below the baseline established for this season 2010-2011 and the state average.
It is clear from the data of the National Network of Epidemiological Surveillance, consulted by Europa Press, the contagion 10.52 per 100,000 people represent an intensity level "low", a spread of the virus circulating "negligible" and an incidence of virus below the state average, which this week 46 has been placed on the 17.69 infections per 100,000 population.
At the national level, and according to their distribution by age group, the highest incidence rates continue to be recorded influenza in children under five years.
For communities, the surveillance network in Asturias warns that continued to observe an increase in the incidence rate of influenza in children under five years. By contrast, in Navarra had been observed until the 45th week, which comprised of 7 to 13 November, a growing trend in the incidence rates of influenza in the group of 15-64 years, interrupted this week.
Until this week, 46 have been reported throughout the country four serious cases of confirmed influenza hospitalized, all in the range of 45 to 64 years and two of them with no risk factors. Specifically, three of them have been confirmed AnH1N1 virus and fourth AH3N2 influenza virus.
All cases developed pneumonia, two had bacterial co-infection and one acute respiratory distress syndrome. The common denominator, highlights the fact that none of the cases reported in the whole state were immunized with influenza vaccine this season 20010-2011, having died one case because it presented multiple risk factors.
ANDALUZA CAMPAIGN
The Andalusian Regional Ministry of Health began last October, the new season 2010-2011 of vaccination against influenza, which this year is new administration of a single dose against A and B viruses that cause the disease and the who have acquired more than 1.4 million doses worth 8.3 million euros.
Andalusian Health officials expect the epidemic peak of the disease range in Andalusia between late December and early January, as it occurred in previous seasons, with the exception of last season, its uniqueness (the presence of H1N1 virus) made to pre-empt the epidemic peak precisely at the end of November.
As usual, Health recommends that all risk groups, including over 65 years, people with chronic diseases, health workers, caregivers and pregnant women - in the latter case they do so by your doctor - get vaccinated in order to achieve vaccination coverage series of previous campaigns, where rates stood at around 70-75 percent of the risk groups.
By provinces, Health has distributed 101,560 vaccines to Almeria Cadiz 157,580; 156,960 in Cordoba, 169,390 in Granada Huelva 74,610, 139,500 to Jaen, Malaga 229,610 and 263,290 to Seville.
