All Jordanians to have access to H1N1 vaccine


03 January 2010

AMMAN - As of next month, all Jordanians will be able to receive the H1N1 (swine) flu vaccine, currently restricted to people categorised by the ministry of health's primary healthcare director, Adel Bilbeisi, said the move came after the Kingdom registered a "tremendous decline" in the spread of swine flu over the past few weeks, with no cases registered during the past 10 days.

"We first decided to inoculate high-risk groups, because the spread of the disease was uncontrollable and these people's immune systems are weak, so they should top the priority list," Bilbeisi explained, adding that the drop in the number of confirmed cases prompted the ministry to modify its plans to deal with the disease.

Those categorised as high-risk include women in the third trimester of pregnancy, those suffering from kidney and heart failure, children with type 1 diabetes, and patients with AIDS, thalassaemia and severe asthma.

Around 40,000 people in these groups have received the vaccine as of yesterday, according to Bilbeisi, who noted that the ministry is also expected to receive another 1.3 million vaccines by the end of this month from manufacturer Novartis Pharmaceuticals, according to a representative of Novartis in Jordan.

Bilbeisi also noted that as part of its new plan, the ministry has decided to cancel a tender that was floated earlier to purchase three million capsules of the anti-viral drug Tamiflu.

However, he said, the ministry has already purchased JD1.5 million worth of Relenza inhalers, an antiviral treatment similar to Tamiflu, and has more than two million doses of Tamiflu in reserve.

Ministry reallocates swine flu vaccine funds for other drugs

By Khetam Malkawi

AMMAN - The Ministry of Health on Sunday reallocated funds designated for securing swine flu vaccines towards the purchase of other drugs, health officials said yesterday.

According to Minister of Health Nayef Fayez, in light of the containment of H1N1 (swine) flu in the Kingdom, a decision was taken to reallocate an over JD4 million tender previously signed with a drug company, for other medicines.

The Health Ministry last year referred a JD9 million tender to Novartis Pharmaceuticals to purchase some 2.25 million swine flu shots.

However, after receiving around one million vaccines and vaccinating 70,000 citizens, the ministry began negotiations with the company to replace the remaining vaccines with other drugs.

Under an agreement signed with Novartis yesterday, the company will provide the ministry with drugs approved in Jordan including heart, eye and blood pressure medications.

After the discovery of the first swine flu case in the Kingdom last June, the government allocated JD72 million to purchase enough vaccines to inoculate 80 per cent of the population.

However, no new cases of the disease have been registered in Jordan since December 2009, which prompted the ministry to cancel the plan.

According to the latest ministry figures, the total number of H1N1 cases registered in the Kingdom since the outbreak of the disease stood at 3,049, while the number of swine flu-related deaths in Jordan stood at 16.
