Some 21,000 people were vaccinated over the weekend
Tuesday June 1, 2010 | The campaign will continue with an eye on children between six months and four years. Children who are between six months and two years should receive two doses. Seek the cooperation of parents.
All efforts are geared toward younger children. The aim is to protect more children before the virus begins to circulate in the province. The vaccination campaign against influenza A that took place the weekend was successful, they said SIPROSA authorities. Anyway, over the next few days will keep getting free vaccinations for parents to immunize their children. The head of the Department of Immunization, Ministry of Health of the Province, Ricardo Cortez, said that until yesterday it was estimated that they had placed some 21,000 doses of influenza vaccine between Saturday and Sunday (the final results of the campaign will be ready on Thursday).
As part of the national vaccination campaign against the H1N1 virus during the weekend vaccination points were installed in public places across the province (plazas, parks, supermarkets and shopping malls). "For example, yesterday (Sunday) More than 1,000 people put the vaccine in Independence Square," said the official.
Concern
With the approach of winter, the age group that generates more concern is the period for children between six months and four years. "We need the cooperation of parents," said Cortes. The kids aged between six months and two years must be placed two doses of the vaccine (with an interval of 21 days). Until last week, 55% of this sector had already been immunized. "The goal is to capture the remaining 45%. We believe that on Saturday and Sunday we made important progress. But we have no definitive numbers. To ensure that they are placed for the two doses, we have distributed vaccines in all CAPS, hospitals and private VACUNATORIOS the province. In addition, we are going to vaccinate kindergartens and nursery, "said Cortes.
Health Minister Paul Yedlin, said the vaccination campaign will be held next weekend, and that the vaccination points will be rotating throughout the province.
