THE NATION
So far this year, in Oruro were 14 suspected cases of influenza A-H1N1, of whom nine were discarded, the results were negative, said the director of the Departmental Service of Health (Headquarters), Johnny Vedia.
Vaccination against this disease continues in the department, reaching so far nearly 4,000 people, including medical personnel, pregnant women and people with chronic diseases and older than 6 months.
Although coverage is still low in relation to the rest of the country, where in some cases, up to 33,000 people were vaccinated, it is expected that in the coming days to improve the figures.
ARIS
As for the data of Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI), Vedia reported that 4,500 cases were reported, which once again became endemic channel, so epidemiological alert continues in Oruro.
However, he noted that this corresponds to pneumonia complications have 4 percent, which means that it is below the threshold of an epidemic.
"This means that people are turning to health facilities at an early stage in what corresponds to the disease, preventing complications," he said.
As for the school holidays having indicated that the low temperatures recorded in the Department of Oruro, could be brought forward.
And about absenteeism said that being the education sector unemployment tax, we could not collect data, however, this shows that despite not having focused on school children, the IRAs exceeded the permitted limits and on returning children to school the spread can be much higher.
