Specifically, the Department Murcia purchased 268,689 doses. However, health centers have been used only 80,521 (less than 30%). They have gone to patients included within the risk groups (patients with chronic diseases, essential service workers and health personnel). The counselor, Angeles Palacios, expects the final number of vaccines supplied will rise “about 100,000″ because they still have to add those that have been distributed in hospitals. In any case, the drawer will remain unutilized between 63 and 70% of the doses that were purchased.

José Antonio Navarro, head of Vaccine Counseling, argues that the results in Murcia are better than the rest of Spain, but recognizes that they have achieved the objectives set for the campaign has been developed in “adverse conditions”. For starters, the H1N1 virus has behaved like any seasonal flu. There has been high mortality and the incidence has not even been particularly high. In Murcia, the record closes with 14 deaths and only 55 serious cases. In addition, health authorities have had to deal with all kinds of messages and campaigns antivacunacion. Since the nun Teresa Forcades, which swept ‘Youtube’ warning of suspected adverse reactions, even the most unexpected conspiracy theories.

Social pressure

“Public opinion has changed in April so that people would have killed to be vaccinated in October and nobody wanted to do it,” Navarro summarized graphically. When he began to speak of the vaccine, the Ministry, which has charge of purchasing for the entire country, he encountered a barrage of requests. The most unimaginable collective risk groups were considered. Taxi drivers, teachers, stewardesses, businessmen. Everyone wanted to be immunized. Until he joined the PP wave vaccines asking “for the greatest number of citizens.” The Government finally decided to expand their initial forecasts. Purchased 13.5 million doses, of which only been used 3, and also reserved another 24 million to ensure vaccination of 40% of the population. Now that last shipment has been canceled, but have ten million without use in warehouses throughout the country.

The Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety, WHO issued a statement which specifies that “since August 2010, following massive vaccination against influenza virus H1N1 in 2009, there were cases of narcolepsy in children and adolescents at least 12 countries.”

WHO spokeswoman, Alison Brunier, failed to answer at a press conference yesterday which countries they have detected cases of narcolepsy, and was unable to confirm whether or not that information is public domain.

The Committee said it takes “more research” to determine the exact relationship between cases of narcolepsy and influenza vaccination, the vaccine is Pandemrix (manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline) or other purposes.

That is why, for now, has not decided to withdraw the vaccine from the market, but on the contrary, countries are encouraged to continue vaccinating “because the risk-benefit of getting the flu against the possibility of narcolepsy shows that better to continue immunizing “the spokeswoman said. To carry out this research, the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) is currently conducting epidemiological studies on the relationship between narcolepsy and vaccines against H1N1 influenza. “These studies may help clarify whether there is an increased risk of narcolepsy, which currently appears to be restricted to the months after vaccination and age and country”, the statement of the Committee.

Last week, WHO announced it was investigating a rise in cases of narcolepsy in Finland which could be associated with the vaccine Pandemrix affected since all appeared to have been immunized with the same product. Brunier specified that although in almost all cases had been vaccinated with Pandemrix research is not excluded in cases where patients have been immunized with another brand.

The Government of Finland reported cases of narcolepsy among vaccinated against influenza between 4 and 19 years.

Adults

Brunier Asked about the possibility that cases of narcolepsy can be extended to adults and the associated hazards (driving, etc), noted that no cases have been detected in over 19 years so a priori there is nothing to fear ‘.

In Helsinki, the National Institute of Health and Welfare of Finland (THL) published a study showing that the H1N1 flu vaccine Pandemrix multiplies the risk of childhood narcolepsy.

According to this study, between 2009 and 2010 were diagnosed 60 cases of narcolepsy in Finnish children and adolescents between 4 and 19 years, of which 52 (almost 90 per cent) had been vaccinated with Pandemrix. The phenomenon led the Finnish health authorities to stop using this vaccine as a preventive measure to determine their possible side effects.

Narcolepsy is a disease state that occurs in the affected access irresistible sleep at any time. WHO has donated 36 million doses of the vaccine “Pandemrix” to 18 developing countries, three of them American, but so far not been heard of who have been cases of narcolepsy.

The list of countries receiving Pandemrix is the following: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cuba, North Korea, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Ghana, Namibia, Philippines, Tajikistan, Togo, Rwanda, Kenya, Mongolia and Senegal.
