Quito, May 18 (EFE) .- A total of 200 people have died due to influenza A in Ecuador, a country where, from this year, it deploys a vaccination campaign that has been immunized so far, more than half a million people, said the Ministry of Health.

"In Ecuador, confirmed the deaths of 200 people for influenza H1N1," the ministry.

The vaccination program, which began in late March with different workers, gives priority to those considered at-risk groups, including children, elderly and pregnant women, among others.

So far, in Ecuador, as in the rest of the world, the majority of reported vaccine reactions are mild and disappear quickly as fever, malaise, fatigue, headache and dizziness, the ministry said.
