[tetano]

In Finland, there is currently no swine flu, health authorities reported on Wednesday. However, authorities recommend vaccinations, for example, even though spring is not expected a new wave of swine influenza. If two thirds having Finnish swine flu vaccine, to prevent the expansion of an epidemic of the disease, evaluate the Health and Social Affairs and Health and Welfare. Now into swine influenza vaccine provides good protection against the disease in late autumn is estimated that half of the Finnish took swine influenza vaccine, namely influenza A (H1N1) virus, v-v. Many municipalities vaccinate healthy adult population in the March period, after which special arrangements have been exhausted. A comparison of European vaccination coverage of the Finnish authorities, the good, though not yet sufficient, level. Swine influenza in Europe is currently low, in some Eastern European countries from local epidemics. Instead, the tropical regions of Southeast and South Asia, swine influenza is comprehensive. Swine influenza recalls in many ways a normal seasonal influenza, but it is clearly overburdening the health care for seasonal influenza more. The morbidity was higher in the younger age groups. Typically, seasonal influenza in severely sick was compared with the number of healthy children and adults. The mortality rate of young people is a seasonal influenza compared to the higher. The authorities have not yet decided how vaccination will be organized in the autumn. It is possible that a separate swine influenza vaccination is not required, but the protection of pigs against influenza may be part of the seasonal flu vaccine. In this case, the vaccine would be a charge for non-risk categories.

Re: In Finland there is not swine influenza - a vaccine is recommended, however

About half of the population have received a vaccination against the HIN1 swine flu virus. According to National Public health Institute-THL, the virus will probably return next autumn as so many people remain unprotected.

Professor Ilkka Julkunen from the Institute says small children may receive a second vaccination against the virus next autumn.

However, he expressed his concern that so few people had taken the vaccination. In his view, 70 percent of the population should be inoculated against the virus to prevent a second epidemic next autumn.

The National Public Health Institute is, nevertheless, satisfied with the results so far of the vaccination campaign. Without it, some 300 to 1,000 people may have died. Confirmed fatalities from the virus in Finland total 44

Professor Julkunen encourages doubters to take the vaccination as it will give protection against the virus next autumn and winter.
