Only 40 percent of people who immunize contemplated in the first stage of the vaccination (doctors and pregnant women in the third trimester) has consented applied biological sources with the Ministry of Health.
"We thought we would have a higher demand from the public. The obstacle is the fear people have, even though the vaccine is completely safe. We have evidence worldwide of 100 million doses have been applied, "said Undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion, Mauricio Hernandez.
"Mexico made an incredible effort to bring the vaccine and now invite the people to go to get vaccinated," he added.
According to him, not only doctors have rejected, but also pregnant women, who have not come to health facilities as expected.
According to preliminary information from the Ministry of Health, at the time would come to Mexico one million 515 thousand doses of vaccine, of which 650 thousand will apply to medical personnel and 865 thousand pregnant women.
Curb rumors immunizations
Rumors about the safety of the vaccine against influenza A H1N1, spread mainly through the Internet, have slowed the implementation of the doses received so far by Mexico, Hernandez said yesterday.
The official stressed that the rumors are totally unfounded and urged the people to whom they are intended dose of the first batch-Health staff and pregnant women-to go to get vaccinated.
"We have applied the world over 100 million vaccinations against influenza A H1N1, with excellent results," he said.
"The centers (health) are covered and the vaccine is available. We are working with promotional campaigns for people to go to get vaccinated.
To encourage vaccination among pregnant women, said officials from the Ministry of Health (SSA) have met with schools of gynecologists to promote the biological in that population group.
According to figures from the SSA, until last week the country would have reached one million 515 thousand doses of vaccine that should have been applied to health personnel working in areas of emergency or intensive care, and women who are in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, since they are considered the main risk groups for influenza A H1N1 acquire or develop complications.
Reliance said it was expected previously immunized to 865 thousand women pregnant in the first stage of the vaccination campaign.
However, he acknowledged Hernandez, progress has been uneven.
"There's variability. There are states like Aguascalientes and Guanajuato, which has already vaccinated 80 percent of the goal he had, there are states such as Guerrero, who also goes well and there are other states that have not move much with pregnant women, "he said.
The secretary reiterated that so far has been identified as the dominant respiratory virus in the country is A H1N1, with 95 percent of cases, but stressed that it is possible that the seasonal influenza virus reappears in the following months.
"Of the people who have influenza-like illness, of which are positive, 95 percent are A H1N1 and the rest is parainfluenza virus incisial respiratory metapneumovirus. In short, what is A H1N1 is circulating, "he noted.
In the event of a surge of seasonal influenza in the period January to March 2010, he said, there will be enough vaccine for the two forms of the disease.
"There are more than 20 million (doses of) seasonal vaccine. People are applying, and you can apply simultaneously in a pandemic arm and other arm's seasonal without any problems. Pregnant women also can do, "he said.
Preventing school
The Secretary of Education, Alonso Lujambio, said that public schools are ready to face an eventual rebound of the epidemic of influenza A H1N1 in January and February.
As part of the 19th Meeting of the National Council of Education (Conaedu), the official indicated that health facilities have been rehabilitated 20 thousand seedlings of basic education.
