Only 51.74% of the population that is within the risk groups are vaccinated against H1N1 (Avian influenza A or new), according to Secretary of Health Department of Ribeir?o Preto. The campaign officially ends on Friday (21) and the goal is to immunize 80% of the population.
The range in which the percentage of immunized is less is just the latest to be vaccinated: those between 30-39 years, only 7.85% went to health clinics. Group with the highest number of vaccination is 20-29 years, with 69%. In the group of people who have more than 60 years, only 18.3%.
The Department of Health has an action on Saturday (15) to vaccinate people bedridden, based on lists of health facilities. Who can not afford to go to a vaccination post, should contact a health care facility, but according to the Epidemiological Surveillance nurse, Elizabeth Paganini, immunization will be difficult even this week at home. "We're at the end of the campaign, vaccination with crowded rooms, so people could bring their relatives to health facilities is important," he said.
