Vaccine against pandemic flu: against demagoguery, accuracy.

I think it is important that health professionals disclose scientific and technical reality, compared with conspiracy theories like that of Teresa Forcades a video circulating on the Internet. This woman internist without exercise-truths mixed with falsehoods, and so is undermining public confidence in vaccines. That is very serious because the entire edifice of vaccination rests on the confidence of citizens and professionals foot soldiers in the health authorities.

against demagoguery, several facts true:

1. It is impossible for pandemic influenza vaccines cause any pandemic flu or avian flu or, as suggested by the video. The vaccine virus is not alive, as assumed in the video, but killed virus, split, or subunit (depending on brand). This ruling indicates the author's misinformation regarding vaccines. In addition, any item that hits the market meet quality control over the content of the vaccine, like any medicine, pharmacopoeia. A sample is deposited to the National Center for Pharmacobiology carry out inspections and analysis to create appropriate. Forcades hypothesized that laboratories are using the vaccine to cause a pandemic of bird flu or any other disease is really unprecedented, irresponsible and disturbing in a person who assumes some training.

2. Interveners are two of the vaccines (Pandemrix and Focetria) comply with the safety guidelines of the EMEA, and have already been used in seasonal flu vaccines. The MF59.1, containing 9.75 mg of squalene, has been used in the vaccine brand Chiromo (R) in the year 2008/2009.

3. The Baxter is precisely the only vaccine containing no adjuvant, because it contains a larger amount of antigen, hemagglutinin, a dose Like the seasonal influenza vaccine. It would therefore be precisely the vaccine safer, and should be used for sensitive groups such as pregnant women, if not just demagoguery intimidating potential recipients of this vaccine, and forcing policy makers to avoid it for health clear the controversy, with great disservice to public health.

4. It is false that the labs that they have been marketed legally absolved of responsibility for the possible adverse effects of the vaccine. All laboratories are formally accountable to possible side effects of drugs, when used as directed by the SPC. RD 1015/2009, regulating what was once known as "compassionate use" of drugs, effectively exempts all laboratories of responsibility for the use of any medication NOT LISTED IN THE TECHNICAL CONDITIONS. This is nothing new, but specific regulation of what was once known as "compassionate use" and has NOTHING to do with vaccination against influenza A pandemic.

Therefore, the benefit / risk of the vaccine is expected to be positive for risk groups established by the Ministry of Health. People who belong to one of these groups can be vaccinated safely with the vaccine set for it.
