On Monday begins vaccination against H1N1. From that day all the people who are part of the risk groups (health personnel, workers in essential public services, chronically ill and pregnant women) may receive the drug. One key way, according to Health, to prevent the virus in these people. Trinidad Jiménez Minister insisted yesterday that all those who are part of the risk groups should be vaccinated. A "strong recommendation", he said, despite the alarm level has been lowered by the pandemic.

The suggestion of Health is directed particularly to medical professionals. Jimenez called the "responsibility" of this group to receive the vaccine. "A preventive measure for health and for that of their patients," said the head of Health during the presentation of the second phase of the campaign of information on influenza A, this time dedicated to the vaccination.
The 16 will be available at health centers four million doses of these drugs, the 10 to be used with at-risk groups. The rest (up to 37 to be purchased), Jimenez said, will "accommodate" the request of next year, or offered for sale in pharmacies, as stated in the agreement with the laboratories.
