Yesterday there was realized a national balance of the campaign of struggle against the Influenza A (H1N1) and one emphasized the low index of application of the second dose of the vaccine that prepares the illness in 2-year-old minors. In accordance with the statistics published by the Department of Health of the Nation, Currents it is one of the provinces with the lowest index, since it has immunized only 7 % of this sub-group of risk. The children of between 6 months and 2 years they need 2 doses of the vaccine against the flu A to remain immunized before the pandemic illness, but for the majority of the minors correntinos only one applied herself. From the medical sector they attribute this situation to which the parents led the children to vaccinating in a compulsive way in the throwing of the campaign but do not respecting the instructions of the sanitary personnel. The last national statistics, which were spread yesterday after a meeting between the boss of Office, An?bal Fern?ndez and the minister of Health of the Nation, Juan Manzur, revealed that the group of risk integrated by the children is the one that presents the minor percentage of immunization.
Inside this sector of the population, the sub-group of the minors of between 6 months and 2 years, that needs 2 doses to remain immunized, is the one that turns out to be more exposed. The numbers of Currents indicate that 71 % of the children younger than 2 years has the first dose placed, but that only 7 % of this sub-group returned to the vacunatorios for the second application. The province meets between the districts minor index of immunization in this sub-group and only it overcomes Nunchaku, Missions and La Rioja. Consulted with regard to this topic, the medical associate director of the Pediatric Hospital Juan Pablo II, Susana Glinka, admitted that this situation is very frequent not only with this vaccine if not with others who need 2 applications. ? What happens is that the parents lead to vaccinating his children of a compulsive way when the campaigns are thrown, be already because it begins the cold or because the means speak about that, but later they do not pay attention to the recommendations of the doctor or of the sanitary agents and do not complete the necessary doses ?, he told. In this sense, the professional thought that it is a question of a very frequent error, which in many cases can be serious.
? In case of the flu A, with only one dose the immunity is not guaranteed for the boys of so young age, so an application does not serve you're welcome ?, he made sure. The director of Epidemiolog?a of the Province, Natalia Montiel, referred to this situation days behind and emphasized the importance of the second application. ? The parents have to understand that it is a question of a very important vaccine and they have to lead his children to putting 2 doses to guarantee the effectiveness of the prevention before the flu A ?, it indicated.
