Although the event raised concerns in the educational community, the municipal health secretary, Dr. Favio Crudo said not to be alarmed and insisted with vaccination.

A student of the School of Technical Education No. 3 Z?rate presented a medical certificate to the school authorities where it is mentioned that has a "respiratory symptoms compatible with Influenza A".

"Any picture viral respiratory possibly be compatible with Influenza A," said Raw, who then claimed that "if there is a case where a school is not to generate a general alarm" because during the autumn and winter there will be thousands of cases and the vast majority of tables will be mild.
Influenza "A" H1N1, like last year, will be the predominant seasonal influenza this winter. In Z?rate two weeks ago that began the vaccination and is currently working on the second stage.
Globally, more than 90 percent of flu cases in 2009 were caused by the H1N1 virus.
It is estimated that the flu starts to circulate with greater intensity in our territory the first days of June and immunization through vaccine takes about 15 days to produce the needed antibodies.

Vaccination
Of the total samples from influenza-like illness study in the province during 2009, 95 percent were Influenza "A" H1N1 and is expected to occur this year as well. For this reason, laboratories around the world focused its production in the monovalent vaccine that prevents, specifically, that virus.
While the so-called trivalent vaccine consists of the same components as the monovalent plus two strains of influenza.
The Province of Buenos Aires is available about 4 million doses of vaccine against influenza A H1N1 to be implemented at no cost to the population at risk. So far were invited to be vaccinated pregnant women, mothers of babies up to six months, healthy children between six months and four years and people with risk factors for influenza between 5 and 64.
