    • Pregnant swine flu preventive vaccination jam
      Swine flu prevention vaccine has been created in government hospitals for five months
      Mahesh Bokade, Nagpur. | Updated: October 22, 2017 5:45 AM

      Government vaccines in government hospitals; In ten months, the number of people killed in 681
      While swine flu is increasing in the state, in most government hospitals, there has been a problem of 'swine flu' preventive vaccine for five months and stop the pregnancy prevention (Influenza-A, H1N1) vaccine.
      The highest risk of swine flu is diabetes, blood pressure, pregnant women, cardiology, kidney and lung disorders. In order to avoid this, in 2015, the state's health department's technical committee recommended the 'Swine Flu' -feed vaccine for those patients. Accordingly, starting July 2015, the preventive vaccine of 'Swine Flu' (influenza-A, H1N1) has started issuing medical check-ups to all 224 centers, including all government hospitals in the state. There is no need to take the vaccine again until the delivery of this vaccine, but there is no vaccine available for pregnant women anywhere from January 1, 2017, when there is a 'swine flu'. In October 2017, one woman was not given any vaccine. So who is responsible for the death of someone due to swine flu infection? This question has been raised. Meanwhile,

      The maximum deaths were in Pune division (210) followed by Nagpur division (108), Nashik division (91), Kolhapur division (81), Thane division (64), Aurangabad division (47), Akola division (38), Latur division 10), Mumbai (32). The maximum deaths in Vidarbha have been reported in Nagpur city (42). On this topic, Health Minister Dr. Deepak Sawant and Health Director Dr. Satish Pawar could not be contacted on the phone.

      4 deaths of 9 women, including pregnant women
      Since August 21, 2017 till today, 4 pregnant women have died due to 'swine flu'. It includes one woman each from Pardi of Sangli, Satara, Amravati and Nagpur, and from March 4 to March, 5 women have died due to swine flu in Ahmednagar, Amravati, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik. People are scared of swine flu.
      Complaints of swine flu prevention vaccine are not available in many government hospitals in the state for pregnant women including pregnant women and the Gazetted Medical Officers Association. The patient is the focus of the health department. To provide relief to them, the government should immediately make vaccines available to all the hospitals.
      - Dr. Pramod Raskhwar, State Secretary, Gazetted Medical Officer Association (Mago)
      Although the health department has a shortage of swine flu vaccines, the district surgeons have been given the right to buy vaccines from the fund of 1.38 lakh each for the treatment of hypertensive patients. Accordingly, vaccinations are being given to pregnant women at the place where necessary. They will be made available if not where.
      Dr. M.S. DGGC, Joint Director, Health Services (Disease Department)
