Swine Flu: 40% of non vaccinated people at risk
So far this year in Santa Fe were not detected cases, but a low percentage of vaccination among risk groups. 130,000 only applied dose.
In the province of Santa Fe, only 40% of the population considered at risk of contracting the H1N1 virus or swine flu vaccine attended the health centers and hospitals that applied dose for free. A total of 330,000 people are included in the risk groups in the province were vaccinated 130,000 in the public sector. These figures do not count those who might have done in the private sector. In this regard, the Director of Promotion and Prevention Health Uboldi Andrea explained to El Litoral that although no cases of swine flu detected in Santa Fe, the index of influenza vaccine coverage is low for this time of year that passes. So much so that in July 2011, vaccination of the population at risk had already reached 80% of people included in a group of risks, ie double that now. According Uboldi, poor attendance at the centers vaccination is directly related to lack of awareness of the disease. "As in 2009, the disease was present and there was a valid prevention strategy, everyone got scared and the next year were to be vaccinated. In 2010, there were no cases and in 2011 there were few in the north and this year people were vaccinated by 80%, "explained the official. Another factor explaining the low percentage of this year is the weather as it did Heat until recently "then people think it will not be cold, it will not get the winter and not get sick." Yesterday, the Minister of Health of the province, Miguel Angel Cappiello, had warned the need to strengthen prevention and there is a possibility that the virus arrived in Santa Fe, with the appearance of many cases in Bolivia, by the way that marks Route No. 34 from the north. In the neighboring country in recent days five people died from the disease and 400 cases were recorded. "This is the route by which historically fell cholera, dengue fever and hepatitis A. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the importance of vaccinations to prevent and attend to hospitals and health centers, "said Uboldi.
