Vaccination of 88 million persons has straight reflex in the reduction of serious cases and deaths, which is observed from March. However, Ministry of Health will continue monitoramento of the virus pand?mico in the country A preliminary analysis of the partial numbers of the flu H1N1 in Brazil display that the number of serious hospitalized cases and of deaths is falling continuously from the beginning of March, in all the regions. The period between 28 of February and 6 of March, correspondent to the week epidemiol?gica (CATHEDRAL) 10, was what it had the biggest number of cases when this year was hospitalized ? 79, altogether. Between 11 and 17 of July (IF 28), there was no register of cases interned by the influenza H1N1. The same reduction is observed regarding the number of deaths: there were 11 in 21 and 27 of February (IF 9) and none in 4 and 17 of July. The reduction is a straight result of the vaccination of 88 million persons against the flu pand?mica, between 8 of March and 2 of June (to see printer I lower).
Up to the moment, the number of serious cases and deaths is less than in last year, which shows the effectiveness of the vaccination in the control of the disease.
Even so, together with the states and the local authorities, let's maintain the monitoramento of the flu H1N1 ?, says the secretary of Vigilance in Health of the Ministry of Health, Gerson Penna. ? We did the biggest vaccination already carried out in the world, which allowed to protect the most vulnerable persons to the virus H1N1. Vaccinating those who were more exposed, we manage to reduce drastically the circulation of the virus in the country ?.
The numbers are partial, subject to alterations. The updating of the database is done by the State and Municipal General offices of Health.
.
88 millions of vaccinated are equal to the population of Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Peru, joined. In all Brazil, there were vaccinated pregnant women, chronic, childish patients of 6 months to persons younger than 5 years, adults from 20 to 39 years, natives and workers of services of health.
Proportionally, Brazil vaccinated 46 % of his population, at the front of other countries that also vaccinated the population in wide scale, like the United States (26 %), Mexico (24 %), Switzerland (17 %), Argentina (13 %), Cuba (10 %), France (8 %) and Germany (6 %).
The analysis of the qualitative indicators informed to the World-wide Organization of the Health also reveals what Brazil presents, at present, an intensity lowers the moderated one in the proportion of persons with respiratory sharp diseases. The same analysis indicates, still, that the serious cases for the virus of the influenza pand?mica are taking place in less than 50 % of the Brazilian local authorities and that the demand for medical service due to respiratory diseases is inferior at the levels waited for this season.
Of 1st of January to 17 of July of this year, there were notified 727 cases of persons who needed admission and 91 deaths. It is still not possible it had compared the number of cases and deaths between 2009 and 2010, for two motives: the new virus appeared in the world in April of last year and the impact erases in the system of health it was realized only in the last week of July and in the first two of August of 2009. PREVENTION ? With the country in the winter, the population must still be attentive, so it is in this season that they usually increase the cases of respiratory transmittable diseases, since you get the flu and cooled.
The fall of temperature, the driest air and the biggest concentration of persons in shut environments favor the circulation of several types of respiratory viruses, like the viruses influenza, which cause flu ? so much the common flu (seasonal influenza) as for flu H1N1 (influenza pand?mica).
In Brazil, the increase of cases of flu generally takes place between May and October. However, this period varies in accordance with the region. In the North and Northeast, the tendency of growth goes of April to June. In the South, South-east and Western Centre, which they have more rigorous winters, the cases are concentrated of June the October.
So, the population must reinforce the habits of hygiene (as he will wash the hands frequently and to use disposable scarfs while coughing and sneezing) and having special attention with childish and old. When appeared signs of flu or cold, like fever, cough, headache and in the articulations, the persons must not take medicines for own account (since they can mask symptoms and make difficult the diagnosis) and they must look for the service of health more near.
