The world again attentive to viral threats

Due to the confirmation of the first case of the Covid-19 respiratory syndrome in Brazil (Cronoavirus), the Ministry of Health anticipated the national flu vaccination campaign to 23 March - 23 days ahead of schedule.

The goal is to facilitate the diagnosis of the coronavirus and prevent the health system from becoming overloaded. The individual who has been vaccinated helps the health professional to think about the possibility of other viruses, other than those covered by the influenza vaccine, he explains. This year 75 million doses will be distributed, manufactured by the Butantan Institute.

In addition to the threat called coronavirus and as Brazil prepares for the flu vaccination campaign, the measles problem comes back to life with seriousness. The Air Force Academy (AFA) recorded a measles outbreak in Pirassununga, SP, with 76 cases, mostly among young cadets. According to the Epidemiological Surveillance, 74 cases involving military personnel and two civilians were confirmed.

The AFA also informed that all cases are being followed according to the protocol and the blockade with the triple viral vaccine was adopted in order to interrupt the chain of transmission. As a result of all the actions, no new cases have been reported since February 24. 103 notifications of suspected cases were carried out, 76 confirmed cases, two discarded and 25 awaiting examination results.

Most of this problem in Brazil could have been prevented with a simple attitude: vaccination. Do not neglect - keep an eye on dates and vaccination campaigns to protect your life and the life of those you love.
