"Vaccinatevi and facilitated the vaccination of subjects at risk" by not spreading unfounded doubts and concerns about safety products 'shield' against the H1N1 virus. James Militello, president of the union of family doctors FIMMG (Italian Federation of General Practitioners), writes a letter to colleagues and inviting them to do their part against the new influenza A. "We are facing the increasing spread of the pandemic - his debut - and our most important task is to be closer to citizens and assisting them in more depth and appropriate," he says. "While this means the guarantee of care for people with flu - continued Milillo nella missiva indirizzata ai 27 mila iscritti Fimmg - un altrettanto importante e fondamentale compito è rappresentato dalla prevenzione della diffusione della malattia nelle fasce di popolazione più vulnerabili. Invito ciascuno di voi a farsi parte attiva per agevolare al massimo la vaccinazione delle persone a rischio e a sottoporsi alla vaccinazione contro l'influenza pandemica". Secondo Milillo, "questi mesi saranno un banco di prova importante per la nostra categoria che dovrà dimostrare ai cittadini quanto è effettivamente al loro fianco nel momento del bisogno. La campagna vaccinale, programmata a partire dal 15 novembre, non è ancora a regime e in molte Asl si registra qualche difficoltà a decollare. In alcune regioni it was decided to entrust the vaccination to general practitioners, in other it was decided to assign this task to the district offices or business. It is not important who administers the vaccine against influenza A - look at the president - but the realization of adequate immunization coverage. Therefore it is essential that the message to the people is the most uniform and clear as possible. "" It's not a professional attitude correct and responsible - claims Militello - spread doubts about the safety of the vaccine and concerns that are not based on reliable sources of reference and it helps to create a climate of confusion that could endanger the vulnerable segments of the population ", warns. "Our vaccination - read the letter from a number of FIMMG colleagues - is needed to help protect the population, particularly the chronically ill who witnessing. The benefit that vaccination results in subjects at risk (chronically ill, women in the second and third trimester of pregnancy) is infinitely greater than the possible theoretical risks "insurance. "Doubts about vaccine safety are unfounded and specious: it contains the adjuvant has been administered to millions of people in the past (over 40 million) - Militello remembers - and has recorded only three or four cases of serious complications." And "the amount of mercury contained in the vaccine dose drawn from a multidose vial is comparable to assume that eating one or two cans of tuna. "(Reuters)
