So far, we have confirmed that one of the children acquired polio type 2, a mutated virus type 1.
An Ombudsman's Report of June 23, 2011 warned the mutation of the virus in stool samples from the baby of the family Diaz Hoyos, after being analyzed by a laboratory in Brazil.
The report warns that would risk an outbreak occurs at the low polio vaccination coverage of the MoH.
Former Health Minister Oscar Ugarte confirmed that this case is a mutation of the vaccine produced a strange reaction.
Zaidman Max Renowned pediatrician recalled that the only vaccine that exists in Peru is polio type 1 and stressed that this does not immunize against polio type 2.
It was confirmed that two other classic children acquired polio after vaccination. The parents mentioned that their babies were vaccinated with drops in the mouth (oral).
Ugarte said there are only three confirmed cases. However, according to Health Forum, a child of 3 years would be affected quarter.
Health Forum demanded compensation, care and rehabilitation for the lifetime of the 4 children. Mario Rios, National Coordinator for Health Forum, demanded an audit of the polio vaccine coverage, since, according to the Ombudsman, only at 60% of the country when they should exceed 95%.
DISCARD MINSA OUTBREAK
Carlos Acosta, director of the Directorate General of Health of the People (DGSP), explained that the infection was because the children had low defenses at the time of vaccination. "That's why you should always carry vaccinate children in good health," he said.
He also ruled that there is an outbreak of polio in the country and said that children with acute flaccid paralysis are exceptional cases.
To avoid this problem, Dr. Zaidman recommended that parents apply the hexavalent vaccine (injection) to their children instead of the mouth.
"The ministry for economic reasons the vaccine orally, which has no absolute efficiency, it can have consequences in children with low defenses. However, such cases are rare, "he said. There are two forms of the vaccine against polio. One is through the hexavalent vaccine (polio, triple diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B and meningitis).
This is given by injection. And the other is pentavalent, a shot against 5 diseases and an application orally (drops) for polio.
