SANTIAGO .- During the next two weeks, anyone can get vaccinated against human influenza in clinics, not just those belonging to risk groups, as it was before.
This was announced by the Secretary of Health, Liliana Jadue, who explained that so far have been inoculated about three million people-of-risk groups, but there is still a million doses available, which may be used by individuals of any age.
"As the epidemic of respiratory disease has not yet been unleashed, we call on all people who want the vaccine to come to the clinics. While there are vaccines available will be vaccinated", said the authority.
He stated that universal immunization will be available throughout the country and not just in the disaster area and that may be accessed by all people, not only users of public health. "Every Chilean Chilean protected is that he will get sick and will not transmit the disease to other people," he said.
However, the principal secretary said the ministry's call for vaccination remains for risk groups, consisting of pregnant women, children between 6 and 23 months, adults over 65 or chronically ill.
Jadue indicated that the deadline for inoculated will run for two weeks and hoped that "at that time that one million doses available to be used by the population."
Campaign "anti vaccine" may have influenced
The secretary indicated that the low coverage of vaccination program against human influenza has not occurred only in Chile, but has occurred in other countries.
In his view, this should be, in part to the anti vaccine has been given worldwide. In this regard, he indicated that "cause us grief, because the evidence shows that the vaccine is safe, there is no report of serious adverse effects caused by the vaccine."
Added to this is "a false sense of security among the population" because in the end did not behave like a virus as aggressive as initially thought. However, the secretary insists that virus is a "mortal" and that "in Chile last year killed 153 people."
