Macau, China, 29 Dec - The Macau government decided to offer inoculation of A/H1N1 vaccines for all its residents from January 1 next year, in an effort to combat a second wave of A/H1N1 flu, Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On announced on Monday.

According to Xinhua, Chui said the second wave of A/H1N1 flu may hit the city in January, rather than February or March, according to guidelines of the WHO and opinions of Centers for Disease Control in the US and EU countries.

Therefore, the SAR government has purchased enough doses of A/H1N1 vaccines to get all its residents inoculated.

Macau has about 540,000 including, including around 70,000 imported workers.

Re: Macau to launch inoculation of A/H1N1 vaccines for all residents

#5:
"Over 77,000 inoculated with A/H1N1 flu vaccines in Macao"
...
"Despite recording one case of death after inoculation, the vaccines are safe"


It is a proportion of 1 death event on 77,000 inoculated,
which represent an not so rare event, if we compare the seasonal jab outcomes, and it is not only severe, but it is an deadly event.

Additionaly, it is a quarter more than the publicized relation 1:100,000,
or even >10 times more the one "adverse" event on 1 milion, as somewhere trumpeted last month.
