The Centre of Epidemiologia of the Municipal General office of Health of Curitiba confirms the first indigenous case (when the disease is contracted in the city itself) of influenza A (HIN1) - pig flu - this year, in the capital. A 28-year-old woman, who had not taken the vaccine, did the treatment in a private hospital and ended the recuperation at home. Up to now there had been confirmed in laboratory only the imported case of a boy who developed the disease in January, in the return of a travel to the United States.

In Curitiba, 63 % of the population from 30 to 39 years still did not take the vaccine. Pregnant women, chronic, childish patients between six months and two years and adults from 20 to 39 years can still be vaccinated.
In accordance with the State General office of the Health, in the whole State, practically all the groups already surpassed the mark of 80 % of immunization.
