Jalisco has vaccine shortages
Health | Jalisco Health Secretariat | Vaccine | Children

If necessary, buy the vaccines Jalisco Health providers, directly. E. PACHECO
Some vaccines cost up to mil 500 pesos (about 1,500 dollars) each dose
The shortage affects mainly infants, as there are no doses against tuberculosis, rotavirus, pneumococcal and hepatitis B, including Polio

"Coordination between institutions, solution
the shortage of vaccines

GUADALAJARA, JALISCO (09/MAR/2011) .- La Secretar?a de Salud Jalisco (SSJ) no vaccine for newborns and infants in their first months of life. The agency's central warehouse is located at zero in terms of biological BCG is concerned, which protect against tuberculous meningitis, primary at birth. There is also no vaccine against rotavirus, pneumococcal and hepatitis B.

The few with that account are distributed in different health centers, but also has had problems with acellular pentavalent vaccine that protects young children from diseases such as diphtheria, pertussis, poliomyelitis, tetanus and meningitis.

The reason, according to the chief of Preventive Medicine of the SSJ, Lomeli Reyes Ramiro Zaragoza, is due to issues of non-production of vaccines from some foreign laboratories in Denmark and Japan, to name a few. In addition, the delay of quality assessment processes by the Federal Commission for Protection Against Health Risks (Cofepris) in all states, influences the shortage.

Meanwhile, parents flock daily to health centers to seek vaccines, without success. And although the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), Jalisco says it has secured its supply of biologics for the second two months of the year, some clinics also show lack.

Buying? Some parents have the economic means to do so. Others do not. There are vaccines that are around mil 500 thousand pesos each dose.

Apparently the only problem is with the above vaccines. Of the others there are, reports the agency.

However, in terms of protecting against tuberculosis, is expected to rectify the situation until June, or at least that's the promise of Mexico and Biological Reagents (Birmex) made the SSJ.

The problem is not new. In previous years similar problems have arisen.

Currently, the few remaining vaccines are those that were distributed during the National Health Week, held just a few days ago, so it is likely that there are no more in biological health centers, said the state official.
