Two new A(H1N1) fatalities confirmed
BANGKOK, Oct 14 (TNA) - Thailand's Ministry of Public Health on Wednesday reported two new fatalities from Influenza Type A (H1N1), raising the country's total number to 170 deaths.

The Bureau of Edipemiology reported via the website of public health ministry www.moph.go.th that two new deaths from the A(H1N1) virus between October 3-10 were found in Phitsanulok and Chiang Rai provinces.

The cumulative total of death since the new virus strain was detected in the kingdom at the end of April has risen to 170, with 27,639 confirmed A(H1N1) patients.

The Thai public health ministry said last Wednesday that it will end its weekly news conferences reporting the status of the A(H1N1) flu situation, but will publicise the latest situation and the figures of the new infections on the ministry?s website instead, as the country had no fatalities related to the new virus strain.

Public Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai reasoned that the zero fatalities report may be partly caused by the portion of population which has already been exposed to and infected by the A(H1N1) virus and has subsequently developed an immunity, so the number of new infections and fatalities has dropped.

A(H1N1) flu deaths rise to 176; Human vaccine trials delayed

BANGKOK, Oct 21 (TNA) ? Thailand?s Ministry of Public Health on Wednesday confirmed three new deaths from Influenza Type A(H1N1), bringing the country's total death toll to 176.

The Bureau of Epidemiology of the Department of Disease Control reported the new fatalities from A(H1N1) virus pandemic in Thailand from October 11-17, raising death tally to 176 based on September?s record.

In a further development of the human vaccine trials against A(H1N1) virus, the trials were delayed yet again due to technical problems during vaccine production, according to Dr Vichai Chokewiwat, chair of the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO).

Currently, Thailand?s technical difficulties with vaccine production were related to the vaccine?s stability and immune stimulation tests, which are expected to show results within one month.

So far, the country?s human vaccine trials could not be scheduled, Dr Vichai.

Meanwhile, Dr Vichai added that one million doses of imported vaccines would be delivered here by the third week of December.

Another one million doses are expected to be received by the second week of January 2010.

Medical workers and women at about six-months pregnancy will be the first group to be vaccinated against Influenza Type A, Dr Vichai said. (H1N1).

Doctors fear second wave of influenza

* Newspaper section: News

Health authorities in the central region are on high alert to deal with a second wave of type-A (H1N1) influenza as a new death was reported in the capital.

Witthaya: ?We need to beef up measures?

A Bangkok resident died from the deadly virus yesterday, bringing the number of flu fatalities to 185. Sixty-three new cases were reported in 13 provinces from Nov 8 to 14, the Bureau of Epidemiology said.

"The report of the flu death and new flu cases in the central region are signs of the return of type-A (H1N1) influenza and health authorities have to beef up measures against it," Public Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai said.

Mr Witthaya said health officials were assigned to fight possible flu outbreaks at schools in the city and other central provinces. People are being warned to protect themselves against the virus. Frequent hand washing and masks were essential for people who develop flu-like symptoms, especially when they go to public places.

People at the highest risk of being seriously ill from flu infection are pregnant women, school children and the elderly, he said.

Tawee Chotpitayasunond, a paediatrician with the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health, said millions of Thai pre-schoolers were expected to be hardest hit by the virus in a second flu wave, based on the outbreak that has swept through North America.

An estimated 5% of about 7,000 flu patients tested positive for type-A (H1N1) flu, permanent secretary for public health Paijit Warachit said.

Disease control experts believe about six million people contracted the virus during the peak period of the first wave from April to September. A third of the 65 million population could eventually be infected, they said.

Government Pharmaceutical Organisation board chairman Vichai Chokewiwat said the agency was struggling to stabilise a live-attenuated vaccine manufactured at its plant in Nakhon Pathom.

He hoped the trials could begin by next month. Another two million doses of inactivated vaccine from the manufacturer Sanofi Pasteur will be available next month and in January.
