Rise data as age and sex of victims, if they were vaccinated, particularly if presented with life-threatening diseases and had access to treatment (Tamiflu) within 48 hours, as recommended by the MS.

What is fleeing a bit are the average of deaths, which concerns us and makes us have to investigate - justifies Sonia Brito, Secretary of Health Surveillance replacement of the ministry.
Based on the report, which is already being prepared by the state and has no data to be presented, strategies for combating the virus may be revised. Because the vaccine takes about three weeks to immunize people, the concern now is with access to flexible doses of Tamiflu distributed for free in public health.

The study will also help to signal changes in vaccination strategy for 2013. Increase the number of doses and increase the risk groups are on the agenda for next year. In 2010, when the number of vaccines increased from 5 million in the state, there were no deaths among the gauchos. In 2012, just over 2.9 million doses, death reappeared and now total 29 deaths.
- The major purpose of investigating serious cases and deaths is to seek information or not enough to change strategies - Sonia Brito explains.
