The Influenza A vaccine is the greatest demand in Pediatric
Publication Date: Tuesday, April 20, 2010

Although all doses are available for the official calendar, which prevents the pandemic disease is the most requested. It only applies to children under 4 years and children who have underlying diseases, as they are considered risk groups.


The Pediatric receives daily shipments of the vaccine against influenza A to meet the high demand.
The vaccine prevents influenza A (H1N1) is the one with the greatest demand in the Paediatric Hospital Juan Pablo II. While at the hospital have all the doses for the official calendar, whose importance is being emphasized through a national campaign, most parents who bring their children go through injection prevents the spread of the disease which became pandemic last year. To accommodate the large number of orders of vaccines against influenza A, the Children's Hospital receives daily in-nerves of hundreds of units. It should be remembered that the doses apply only to risk groups, in the case of children, covering children aged between 6 months and 4 years and older than 5 years with underlying conditions.
As told El Litoral director at Children's Hospital, Albert Braverman, since it was launched a few weeks ago the stage of the flu vaccination for children, demand has been constant. "We have people queuing up every day," said the professional. Although demand is permanent, the official said that "so far there was no saturation and we were able to supply." "The Ministry of Health sends us daily doses, according to the projection of how many people we estimate that we have," said the doctor. Although the Paediatric has all doses for the official calendar, Braverman confirmed that the demand for other vaccines is not as high. "I do not even notice a significant increase in the issue of universal child allowance," said the doctor.
It should be noted that vaccination against influenza is being developed under the National Immunization Campaign, which aims to reverse the low rate of inoculation that children have Corrientes. The doses against influenza A (H1N1) are placed free of charge and without any requirement to children under 4 years, while children 5 and older who suffer from illnesses that put them at risk must submit a doctor's prescription attesting disease suffering.
