Until now a total of 705 people confirmed the presence of the virus A H1N1, while the consequences of pork flu died 83rd The hospitals in the treatment of 40 persons, of which two on respirators.
Epidemiologist Predrag Kon, head of the Working Group for monitoring influenza pandemic in Serbia, was confirmed by the courier that the H1N1 virus, unfortunately, still exists in our country.
- Two weeks ago we had no confirmed case of influenza of pork, but his re-certification indicates that he is still there. Its potential will continue to investigate. At this moment, no one can say whether it will again go obolevanje of pork or the flu - explained Dr. Kon.
In his words, the epidemiological situation is uncertain.
Few vaccinated

More than half cepljenih among the chronic patients. Of the total number of vaccinated healthy persons constitute 31.2 per cent, while only four percent of the vaccine spent for health workers.

And that happens again a strong wave of pig influenza in Serbia and responsible citizens invited to vaccinated, they would not listen. Of 857,500 doses, as they entered the country, cepilo only 149,698 people. In stock we are 707,802 doses. It is in Euros 6,016,317.
Dr Zoran Duric, a psychiatrist, says that the fiasco of vaccination and generally the whole story in connection with the swine flu in Serbia medico-political problem.
- On the one hand, the swine flu is a serious disease and the best protection is vaccination. On the other hand, citizens have lost confidence in the political part of the problem. Basically it is completely valid vaccination against influenza, but the medical endeavor to protect the population has failed because the politicians who implemented it, because in all this optional runs a story about money and mistrust. Who took the money and people buy them something that is not good? World Health Organization is trying to create a way to manage pandemic in the world. It is gigantic undertaking, but "break their teeth" in the world on the "political side of pork flu" - explains the expert.
