En Melilla s?lo se han administrado tres mil vacunas contra la gripe A

La consejera de Bienestar Social y Sanidad, M? Antonia Garb?n, reconoc?a que en Melilla, "estamos en una cuota baja de administraci?n de la vacuna contra la gripe A, aunque como ocurre en el resto del pa?s".

Coment? que la aparici?n de la pandemia gener? "mucha expectaci?n" entre los ciudadanos que se mostraban m?s que interesados en que se les vacunara para prevenir el contagio. Por ese motivo, cuando se hizo la reserva de vacunas, se pens? incluso en solicitar m?s dosis, pero finalmente la Ciudad Aut?noma adquiri? trece mil unidades.

Con la campa?a contra el virus H1N1 causante de la gripe A se esperaba inmunizar a entre un 15 y un 20 por ciento de la poblaci?n, todos aquellos considerados como grupos de riesgo por el Ministerio de Sanidad y Pol?tica Social y las comunidades aut?nomas: mujeres embarazadas, enfermos cr?nicos de m?s de 6 meses de edad, trabajadores sociosanitarios y personal de los servicios p?blicos esenciales (Fuerzas y cuerpos de Seguridad del Estado, bomberos y personal de Protecci?n Civil e instituciones penitenciarias).

Vacunaci?n
Pero al contrario de lo que las previsiones apuntaban, desde el inicio de la campa?a el pasado 16 de noviembre hasta finales de diciembre, tan s?lo se han administrado unas tres mil dosis, "unas cifras muy por debajo de lo que se esperaba".

La consejera se?al? que no hay que bajar la guardia, porque es a partir de ahora, con el descenso de las temperaturas en los meses duros del invierno, cuando aumenta el riesgo de contagio de la gripe A. Seguimos recomendando la vacunaci?n, en especial en la poblaci?n mayor y el resto de grupos de riesgo, como son las personas con alguna patolog?a o enfermedad cr?nica. Esta recomendaci?n tambi?n la hacemos cada a?o con la gripe estacional con la que mueren m?s personas por complicaciones, que ahora con la pand?mica".

La responsable de Servicios Sociales coment? que a?n no se sabe qu? se har? con las vacunas que no se utilicen, si se quedar?n en la ciudad en reserva o se devolver? a la administraci?n central. "Eso se estudiar? m?s adelante. Previamente habr? una reuni?n en Madrid con todas las comunidades aut?nomas para determinar qu? se hace con esas unidades que no se han utilizado. Entre tanto, las vacunas est?n en los centros de salud y en las aseguradoras privadas, a disposici?n de los interesados", coment? la consejera de Sanidad.

Garb?n se?al? que la gripe A no est? resultando tan virulenta como se esperaba, y de hecho, las mutaciones espor?dicas del virus que se han detectado en algunas partes de Europa, no han creado mayor alarma ni han provocado una propagaci?n o gravedad de la enfermedad en el resto del globo. "Hay una tranquilidad absoluta, pero eso no quita que sigamos aconsejando la vacunaci?n a los enfermos cr?nicos".

En Melilla, como a nivel nacional, m?s del 97% de los cuadros gripales detectados est?n provocados por este nuevo virus, aunque no revisten gravedad. Reconoci? la consejera que la gripe A tambi?n ha provocado dos v?ctimas mortales en la ciudad, al parecer, en personas que ya contaban con padecimientos cr?nicos.

Councilor Welfare and Health, Maria Antonia Garbin, acknowledged that in Melilla, "we are in a low share of administration of the vaccine against influenza A, although as in the rest of the country."

She commented that the emergence of the pandemic generated "considerable buzz" among citizens who were more than interested in being vaccinated to prevent infection. For this reason, when it became the subject of vaccines, even thought to ask for more shots, but finally the City took thirteen thousand units.

With the campaign against the H1N1 virus causing the influenza A immunize expected between 15 and 20 per cent of the population, those regarded as risk groups by the Ministry of Health and Social Policy and the Autonomous Communities: pregnant women , chronic disease over 6 months of age, socio-workers and staff of essential public services (Forces and State Security bodies, fire and civil protection personnel and correctional officials).

Vaccination
But contrary to what was forecast, since the start of the campaign on 16 November to late December, have managed only three thousand doses, "figures well below what was expected.

The adviser said there is no let down our guard, because from now on, with decreasing temperatures in harsh winter months, when it increases the risk of transmission of influenza A. We recommend vaccination, particularly in the elderly population and other risk groups, such as people with certain diseases or chronic illness. This recommendation also do every year with seasonal flu with which more people die from complications, now with the pandemic.

The head of Social Services said that it is not known what to do with the vaccines that are not used, if they will stay in the city in reserve or returned to the central government. "That will be discussed days ahead. Prior will have a meeting in Madrid with all the autonomous communities to determine what to do with those units that have not been used. Meanwhile, vaccines are in health centers and private insurers to available to interested parties, "said Health Adviser.

Garb?n noted that influenza A is not proving as virulent as expected, and indeed, sporadic mutations of the virus have been detected in parts of Europe, have heightened the alarm and have led to a spread or severity of the disease in the rest of the globe. "There is absolute peace, but that does not advising us to follow the vaccination for the chronically ill".

In Melilla, and national level, over 97% of the pictures are caused by influenza detected this new virus, although not serious. She recognized the influenza A counselor who has also led to two deaths in the city, apparently, for people who already had chronic illnesses.
