Trivalent vaccine arrives in the country
Colprensa | Bogot? | Published April 28, 2010
The H1N1 flu is still circulating and with the arrival of rains, efforts to prevent a new outbreak have intensified. Therefore, the Sanofi Pasteur, of French origin, brought to Colombia a trivalent vaccine that protects people from the disease and the virus called stationary.
The President of the Adult Immunization of the Colombian Association of Infectious Diseases, Juan Manuel Gomez explained that the vaccines recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) are trivalent vaccine, ie with two strains of influenza stationary: the Ah3n2, B and H1N1, which is the pandemic, and today is part of the viruses circulating among people.
This is the difference with the vaccine 'monovalent', only for the H1N1 virus, which imported the Ministry of Social Protection primarily on risk groups: pregnant women, medical personnel and people with diseases that have compromised their immune system or respiratory (HIV patients, cancer, pneumonia).
The trivalent vaccine is freely sold in hospitals, EPS and family compensation funds. The idea is to increase vaccination Gomez not only for those at risk but healthy people as a way to encourage preventive medicine.
The infectious disease specialist said that the appeal is to universal vaccination, because many people believe they are healthy but have risk factors do not know. Moreover, according to infectious diseases, many of these people live with newborns or adults, which could infect with viruses. "The fact vaccinated affects beneficial to the population."
To the President of the Colombian Association of Pneumology, Alvaro Morales, also called for companies to encourage the vaccination of their employees, an action that allows them to reduce the number of work absenteeism and costs involved when the employee must leave their jobs because of the spread of a virus
