Vaccines
against avian flu until late JulyJuly 4, 2012
El
Salto, Jalisco. - The first batch of two million doses of vaccine made
in Mexico to prevent avian influenza will tentatively later this July,
said Director of Animal Health SENASICA Hugo Sanchez
Fragoso.
At
a news conference, said that Mexico will produce, with the support of private
laboratories, the whole virus vaccine for avian influenza is required by August,
when production is expected at least 80 million doses.
He
stated that the vaccine produced will comply with all safety standards
recommended by the World Organization for Animal Health, will be tested for
efficacy and protective capacity and not harm the birds, as it will be applied
in regions close to the affected area to keep the virus out of
there.
The
director of the National Health Service, Food Safety and Food Quality
(SENASICA), said the Mexican vaccine production is one of the three options you
have to combat this health challenge facing the country.
He
added that there is a national laboratory that has the ability to produce the
vaccine, but that takes time because the epidemic was first detected and began
working in the biological to combat it.
He
said another possibility considered is to bring a vaccine made and ready to
apply, "but it is available anytime, anywhere and when you need it" because it
is exotic disease has only been introduced in some countries
world.
He
said that no active outbreaks of bird flu in Pakistan and Italy, but you can not
bring the vaccine because their production is
compromised.He
said that was available in some countries being located with an import permit to
bring it to Mexico, but you have to develop a series of tests to determine
whether it is safe and whether it protects, plus it's available at most three
million dose.
He
added that the third option in which you work is coordinated with research
scientists at the Department of Agriculture United States, which has a world
reference laboratory for avian influenza.
