Infected with 71 thousand people!
- We have experienced a severe epidemic rise, which was caused by exactly pandemic influenza - said Elizabeth Maciejewski, head of epidemiological surveillance of Rospotrebnadzor area. - For five weeks in the Arctic they actually infected with 71 thousand people! At least 355 laboratory-confirmed cases, but the virological monitoring suggests that the entire rise was caused by highly pathogenic it is. During this period does not emit any other viruses. Experts from the World Health Organization does not rule out that it would be a second wave of swine influenza. Especially since it has already begun in some European countries and in Mexico.
From the season we reserved
According to doctors, to the regular outbreaks of highly flu in the Arctic - a few weeks, perhaps months. It is possible the emergence of the virus and normal seasonal influenza, but most of it caught on northerners.
We have a chance to avoid a second wave "svinogrippa. This must be vaccinated. Especially now, especially propitious moment. In the past five weeks, the incidence does not exceed epidurovni. But in some categories, such as young adults and students, will rise again. Now doctors fully coped with the vaccination of schoolchildren - they vaccinated 93 per cent. No problems with organized groups of adults - doctors, teachers. But others - alas ...
WAY
Doctors are reminded that vaccination against influenza does not protect against the disease, but from the heavy flow and complications. Even for those who have measles, vaccination will benefit and embolden immunity. No contraindications were found for either children or adults. If you are priboleli, wait until the acute symptoms will go and the temperature will be less than 37-mi, and can for the injection.
Who's at Risk?
- To impart is a free clinic in the place of residence, - says head of the organization of medical care MHSD Lyudmila Kovalenko. - Very important vaccination for people with chronic diseases, especially diabetes and obesity. At the risk as the elderly, pregnant women - they have lowered immunity. The sad experience - all died as a result of influenza infection were highly at risk.
Must be grafted on to workers in transport, trade, services, students - all those who have much contact with people.
- Frightening a lot of failures of parents of healthy children from vaccinations - complains allergist-immunologist Vera Rodnikova. - Kids with chronic diseases vaccinated - their parents persuades the doctor-specialist. Thus, almost all kids immunized with bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis. And no one was not really a problem, but even a negative reaction, for example, raising the temperature.
In addition, if the child is not immunized and went on holiday abroad, it will be under the supervision of a physician within 7 days. And in school or garden it will not be allowed, in case something is not perezarazil others. And immunized child waiting in organized institutions immediately after the trip.
ONLY NUMBERS
We obtained 188 thousand 279 doses of vaccine against swine flu.
Total ordered 307 thousand doses. But children from 3 to 6 years should be grafted twice, their immune system produces more complex. Therefore, in general, in the Arctic will be protected by 250 thousand people.
