              Indonesia has launched ?outbreak response immunisation? against diphtheria

              By: Dyna Rochmyaningsih

              [JAKARTA] A spurt in diphtheria cases in Indonesia in 2017 is being attributed by doctors to an anti-vaccination movement mounted by religious orthodoxy.

              More than 600 people in predominantly Muslim Indonesia were infected with the causative bacterium (Corynebacterium diphtheria) this year, with at least 32 deaths, mostly children. The bulk of the cases are in the densely populated capital, Jakarta. Health officials say the number of diphtheria cases represents a 42 per cent hike over figures for 2016 and over 30 times about a decade ago.

              Agustina Kadaristiana, paediatrician and founder of Doctormums, a website which supports maternal and child health, says campaigns by hard-line religious leaders are undermining government drives against vaccination-preventable diseases...

                        57 Acehnese suffer from Diphtheria
                        Monday, March 5, 2018 09:38

                        * January - March 2, 2018

                        BANDA ACEH - January to March 2, 2018, as many as 57 Acehnese were attacked by diphtheria. January-February 53 people, so that if averaged in two months that number reached 27 people per month. Added four others until Friday, March 2, 2018. For a while this number increased compared to during 2017 that in a year 104 people affected by this disease, so if averaged per month when it's nine people affected diphtheria.

                        Head of Health Office (Kadisekes) Aceh, dr Hanif convey this when replying Serambi, Sunday (4/3). According to him, the data is in accordance with the latest report of the Dipteri Monitoring Team from Dinkes Aceh who was relegated to the district / city, although no one has died, even even mentioned there are currently six patients treated in five Regional General Hospital (RSUD), ie two at Home Zainoel Abidin General Hospital (RSUZA), Banda Aceh and one person each at Tgk Chik Di Tiro Hospital, Pidie, Aceh Tamiang Hospital, Cut Meutia Lhokseumawe Hospital, and Datu Beru Takengon Hospital, Central Aceh.

                        "The age of diphtheria patients being treated in five hospitals today, 6-15 years more. This indicates that there is no connection with the implementation of the DPT immunization program, ie diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus. DPT immunization, should be given to infants from the age of two months until the age of six-year-old children, "said Hanif.

                        Kadiskes added the parents or the family of the patient to acknowledge their child affected by the disease, his childhood is not immunized DPT and other types or exist, but not complete. Whereas since 2004 - 2014, DPT and other immunization programs have been implemented in Aceh. Mentioned this is estimated because in the countryside there are a number of scholars claim illegal immunization because the liquid material is suspected to contain substances not kosher. As a result, residents were hesitant to immunize DPT to posyandu, puskesmas, and RSUD to their children aged two months to six.

                        Due to the increasing number of diphtheria patients in various regions, especially during this transition season, Hanif appealed to the DHO to be more active and intensively implement DPT immunization program and provide diphtheria vaccinant to children aged 1-17 years in rural and urban areas.

                        Confirmed separately, Deputy Director of RSUZA, Dr Azharuddin diphtheria patients treated at RSUZA generally referral from district hospitals. He explains, actually diphtheria disease is, indeed enter the class of infectious and dangerous. One person affected, already in the category of extraordinary circumstances (KLB). But the danger is not as bad as bird flu disease.

                        "People affected by diphtheria can be cured in district / city hospitals. The way to do inpatient in a special room in incentives. God willing the patient will recover, "said Azharuddin. But for children who have fully recovered, Azharuddin said no need to be kept away from other children because it can make him inferior and sick back, but still join as usual with other children, especially diphtheria is not as dangerous or directly contagious as the flu bird. Meanwhile, to prevent this disease, it must be immunized from the age of two months to six years.

                        Azharuddin ensure DPT immunization fluid material, does not contain substances haram or guaranteed halal. Therefore, religious leaders and religious leaders are encouraged to assist the government by inviting DPT immunization and the like to posyandu, puskesmas and RSUD by convincing the community that the immunization fluid material is guaranteed to be halal.
