  • shortage of vaccines and two universities close

    Marina Serrudo came yesterday to the South Sante Health Center, located in the neighborhood of Los Olivos, accompanied by her three sons, in search of the vaccine against influenza A H1N1. But was surprised to see a long line of people coming out to the street waiting to be immunized. "Let's see if it reaches the vaccine because they say there are not many," said the woman while trying to reassure their children, who are fatigued by the intense heat.


    The panic over the disease, which claimed the life of a child, has caused people to dump health centers to be immunized as a result of despair yesterday where there were shouts, shoves and complaints from people demanding be addressed.

    Similar situations were experienced in the posts March 18, Elvira Wunderlich and Santa Rosita.
    Such was the demand for vaccines, the 3,000 doses were given to health centers in recent days are over now and today the city has 6,000 doses, which arrived yesterday at the end of the day from the Ministry of Health.



    In 4000 this number of vaccines will be distributed in six health posts, which will meet 24 hours and only vaccinate people who are part of the risk group. The 2,000 remaining will be held by the Departmental Health Service (Headquarters), which used to block the immunizing the family of an infected person.
