Influence, 6 kids to bed in ten Pediatricians: too few vaccinations

The epidemic flue is spreading among children Italian and guilt is the fact that very few families have resorted to preventive vaccine. And 'the prosecution of Joseph Mele, president of the Italian Federation of pediatricians, "We are at the peak - he said - now 60% of children are in bed." Mele spoke of influence in Milan at the presentation of a motion of the UDC regional directors to promote vaccination against meningitis.


"This year's flu vaccine has not had the desired effect," said Mele, because "the use of immunization among Italian children was further reduced." Among the causes, assumed the chairman of the pediatricians, there are also controversies last year, followed pandemic alarm and purchase of stock vaccine against influenza A, remained largely unused.

"Vaccines are a gift from God - but Apple claims - and those who decry the potential of destroying a form of prevention is absolutely necessary to pursue that instead." According to the president of FIMP, to counter the false information must pass from the "mobilization of all actors in the system" and in particular pediatricians, "the first health center in the territory" when it comes to the health of children.

"If in Italy all the paediatricians who wish they could vaccinate children directly in their clinics, as already happens in some regions such as Piedmont and Puglia, surely we would have for all types of vaccination coverage much higher." This will eliminate the "shift from one operator to another, to the benefit of the immune system of adults of the future.

The peak of influenza is detected by the data on increased access to the emergency room, but especially from the overwork of Family Physicians for the boom in requests for home visits. Also this year, says Claudio Cricelli Society of Family Physicians, "we had fewer elderly patients, while being most affected are young people, who are also the most reluctant to vaccination."
