There is worry for the low level of coverage of the vaccine between the population in risk 5-year-old minor. The second probable case of flu A, that would have been detected in the Hospital San Roque, of Parana, in the middle of last May, stayed yesterday in the middle of confused informations and official denials. The fact announced ? in dialogue with THE NEWSPAPER ? the Technical secretary of the Hospital San Roque, the pediatrician Amelia Niveyro, being based on reports of the area of Epidemiolog?a of the Province. None had been vaccinated, he said, and one of the boys, after the medical discharge, must be hospitalized again. According to Niveyro, the professional one with the extensest work in the public hospital, two cases are already confirmed, and it is a question of flu A. The first one happened on May 12, and the second one, on May 13. The first patient was sent to his house, but the second one must be re-interned after that the parents anoticiaran of the diagnosis come from the Institute Malbr?n, of Buenos Aires, the center of assertion of cases. ONLY ONE.
The fact was played down by the undersecretary of Promotion and Prevention of the Health, Maria Fabiana Leiva, who said that from two samples sent to the Institute Carlos Malbr?n, in Buenos Aires, only one came with the assertion that talked each other about a case of flu A H1N1. ?, on the other hand, it was not possible to confirm other. The report that they sent to us says that it was not possible to typify what type of flu was ?, he made sure.
In Health they affirm that with the appearance of the low temperatures, the cases of influenza will begin to recrudecer in hospitals and centers of health, and point out on this matter that every suspicious patient has a treatment as if it was a question of a confirmed patient of flu A. In this scheme, several samples have been sent to be confirmed or discarded by the Malbr?n, although the consulted sources could not specify the number. What yes it was possible to establish with certain precision is the inability of the sanitary system to reach with the plan of vaccination against the flu A, that began in March, to the whole population considered in risk: workpeople of Health in risk; pregnant women in any trimester of the gestation and pu?rperas up to 6 months I post-divide; obese with index of corporal mass> 35; patients with obstructive chronic illness (emphysema, bronchitis, pulmonary fibrosis etc.); all the children from 6 months until 5 years; persons from 5 years to 64, only with factors of risk; major of 65 years; and in case of the children of between 6 months and 3 years, double dose.
Leiva accepted that between the group of children younger than 5 years the vaccination could not reach 100 % of coverage; and neither has been achieved that the second dose is massive in the stripe of population of between 6 months and 3 years, that must have, according to protocol, a period window of 3 weeks. Not to todosEL LAST report distributed by Health realizes that the vaccination reached 75 % of the population in risk. The official information indicates that more than 149 thousand doses have been applied in the province, although the coverage has not been in all the sectors in risk of an equal way: between the children from 6 months until 3 years the information indicate that 55 % has been immunized only. The Province was provided with the assistance of the Department of Health of the Nation, which sent to Between Rivers 250.000 doses (25.000 bottles multidose) to vaccinate against the flu A the whole population in risk. The authorities indicate that the vaccine ? is not divalent ?, that is to say that only covers the flu A, for which those persons who in the previous years vaccinated for the seasonal flu should place both to be covered against two types of flu.
