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.

Since 1999, only Hong Kong have been detected in seven cases in humans caused by influenza virus type H9 (H corresponds to the initial one of the coat protein, hemagglutinin, of which there are 16 types). But fortunately, all were mild. Just in case, authorities have recommended to avoid, if possible, contact with poultry, which are the usual focus of these viruses.

Hong Kong is one of the world sentinels for influenza. It’s in Southeast Asia, where usually start pandemics (one of the surprises of the last H1N1 is to begin in Mexico), there is a high population density and domestic birds and has the technology to identify the variants of the pathogen.

What side effects have been reported among persons vaccinated?
Of about 100,000 health professionals vaccinated between October 21 and November 10, four adverse events “serious” were identified by Afssaps two neurological disorders, allergic reactions and respiratory disorders. It was first reported a possible case of Guillain-Barre to moderate, occurred in a woman 37 years after treatment, has recovered well and was able to return home.

The second case is angioedema, an allergic reaction that can, in some cases, cause a serious risk of suffocation. In this case, it occurred within minutes following vaccination in a 26 year old woman whose condition after treatment, improved “without any sequelae. The third case of neurological disorders (numbness of the upper limbs) seen in a man of 34 years, too, is better. Finally, a 30 year old woman with a history of allergy presented a respiratory (bronchial spasms, shortness of breath). “His condition is improving under appropriate treatment,” says Afssaps.

What is Guillain-Barre?
It is an attack of nerves that results in rapid paralysis, usually starting at the legs, then back up the body. In 85% cases, the patient recovery is complete, but 5% of people die and 10% are affected negatively. In France, there are each year between 1 700 and 1 800 cases of Guillain-Barre. The risk of developing this condition after a flu shot is one or two cases per million persons vaccinated. According to experts, in two thirds of cases, this syndrome is triggered after a viral or bacterial infection. The infectious disease stress is therefore more likely to have Guillain-Barre after the flu after vaccination.

These side effects are they related to the vaccine?
In the case of angioedema, it is quite possible. “It is an uncommon side effect, but can occur after vaccination,” says Carmen Kreft-Jais, head of pharmacovigilance Afssaps. For three other cases, she said that investigations are underway to try to decide on possible vaccine accountability. “It is quite possible that there is no link between vaccination and the onset of the cases of Guillain-Barre. But we can never be certain, “says Professor Odile Launay, head of clinical investigation center of vaccinology Cochin-Pasteur in Paris.

Last Monday, Didier Houssin, director general of health, reminding that every day, normally between three and five people were hospitalized in France for Guillain-Barre. “Inevitably, there will be other cases in the coming weeks. Among these patients, some may have been vaccinated in previous weeks. And it will be very difficult to know whether the syndrome is linked to the vaccine or has another origin, says an expert. For Afssaps, these side effects does “not undermine the risk-benefit balance” of the vaccine.
