At the end of this year, the Sanitary District No. 1 based in Victoria, does not meet the goal of vaccination against influenza virus. According to the data provided, barely exceeds 57 percent of the vaccines given to the inhabitants of central Florida.
Until yesterday, Moses Aguilar Saldivar, head of the department, confirmed that the 7,500 doses were delivered by the state Health Department, applications are just coming to 4,300, a figure that is on schedule because this date is intended to comply with the aforementioned amount.
Given this, said the lack of interest, even among high risk groups has been the main cause for vaccines still remain in the health centers waiting to be requested by the population. While there have been several ongoing climate changes and entering the winter season, for now the demand for these vaccines is the forecast, leaving concern that cases could rise.
About this during the last week were nearly 20 000 patients with respiratory diseases, increasing 30 percent occupancy hospital data unveiled by Deputy Secretary of Quality and Citizen, Am?rico Villarreal Anaya.
Although this number has increased significantly, the official said the health sector hospital capacity to cover any increase during the season, taking into account that 70% of cases are for emergencies. Furthermore, more patients are older than 60 years and children under five, as these are the most likely for its low defenses.
"The severity of cold fronts and the extension of the same may increase from 20 to 30 percent occupancy in hospitals. The indicator is that we have one point six beds per thousand people, then we do have capacity, "Villarreal said Anaya, who added that there are other causes that make the amount grow as decompensation in patients with diabetes, hypertension and heart failure , which then leads them down the defenses.
