Mexico City .- Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova, announced that so far have been applied 23 million vaccines against influenza A (H1N1) of the 30 million that were acquired.
"Vaccination is still moving very quickly, we have over 23 million vaccines given and 89 per cent of health staff in hospitals have been vaccinated," he said.
He said that of the 23 million vaccines given, there has been no side reactions and only "one probable case of Barr? Gulli", "then all those myths and lies being spread, for it left behind, and were down" he said.
He said the disease status is stable and controlled, as it is endemic within the channel, ie, new cases are not beyond the expected.
He said however, there are still cases because "the virus is and will continue to run, but not in the number of cases (as before), hopefully."
He said it has also reduced the number of deaths, because "fortunately, we had 1,186 deaths not the five thousand we expected or almost 12 thousand who have been our neighbors to the north, in fact the disease process has been well managed."
* Chronic Disease
Moreover, in making the Conference "Challenges of Health in Mexico and the measures being taken to deal with," the official pointed out that chronic diseases cause 59 percent of deaths in the country.
He argued that therefore important that future health professionals are trained to meet conditions such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension.
Cordova added that in recent years on chronic illnesses are increasing and currently it is estimated that 9.5 percent of the population have diabetes mellitus, which means that today, at least 10 million Mexicans suffer from the disease.
Above, the secretary said, is reflected in the mortality figures are recorded. Only in 2005 the leading cause of death in women was diabetes, with 66 percent, followed by ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease.
"The prevalence of these diseases occurs in children, the type II diabetes diagnosed in children aged 10 years, (while) decades ago occurred only at the population aged 40 years," he said.
