La Piedad, Michoac?n (BI) .- La Piedad is still one of the municipalities with the highest number of cases of influenza A H1N1 in Michoacan, and cities with greater population density as Morelia, Uruapan, L?zaro C?rdenas and Zamora.

This was released by the Ministry of Health in Michoacan, through a press release that announces the current status of influenza in this state.

In this regard, the Director of Health Services, Jose Guadalupe Hernandez Alcala, said that to date has been confirmed in 794 Michoacan 2 thousand cases of influenza A (H1N1) since the beginning of the epidemic last April, among them included 18 deaths.

In recent weeks that the highest incidence occurs in the age groups between 10 and 14 years and those aged 20 to 24, representing a slight shift toward younger ages than in previous months as the group most affected was the 25 to 44 years.

When analyzing the behavior of respiratory disease this year, noted a similar trend in the three health institutions, with increased demand for outpatient respiratory infections compared with other years.

However it also found fewer hospitalizations for pneumonia and bronchopneumonia in comparison with the trend of previous years.

The hypothesis is that epidemiologists probably due to the epidemic of influenza A (H1N1) people are more aware and more often go to health units to symptoms of respiratory disease, reducing the risk of complications and severe cases self-medication or no treatment.

Last week came the first allocations to Michoacan vaccine, 036 doses of 29 thousand biological against the new influenza virus A (H1N1), distributed as follows: 15 thousand 480 to the Ministry of Health of Michoacan, 11 thousand 870 686 thousand IMSS and the ISSSTE. In this first stage is devoted to health workers and women who are in the third trimester of pregnancy.

In the second half of December the following allocations expect vaccines to other populations at risk of developing complications if infected with the virus: children between 6 and 23 months old, the other pregnant women (first and second quarter), people with other diseases such as chronic lung disease, miellitus diabetes, heart disease, and obese patients with immunodeficiencies.

Meanwhile, continue to cover information and guidance to the population, to address concerns of the new vaccine and continue to stress the need to maintain personal hygiene and the environment, and that vaccination is only a tool to mitigate the effects of the epidemic, but we should not abandon the frequent hand washing, care to cover mouth and nose with a tissue or forearm when coughing or sneezing, and cleaning surfaces and objects sharing.

However, the rumor that the advancement of the holiday date was due to the onset of winter, and that this could lead to massive infection of diseases such as colds or flu in schools, and reason that there are no medical response capability to a new epidemic, the SEP would advance the official departure time on vacation.

But officials from the SEE assured that the advancement of decembrinas holiday was not due to the possibility of a massive spread of flu or influenza, as he drove, but to match the dates of departure and the start of classes, with the end and beginning week respectively.

While contemplating the return to classes today, it seems that state education institutions will return to class until 7 January, easing the return to school activities in just two days a week (Thursday and Friday), so the bridge could be done until early next week, ie a full return to activity until Monday January 11.
