He gave 'standard' people the vaccine for A / H1N1 flu

A campaign to vaccinate A / H1N1 flu will be conducted in the fall in the UK, but only for high-risk groups such as pregnant women.

People with chronic diseases over 65 years of age are considered the number one priority group in the UK, followed by pregnant women. Health and social care workers are also vaccinated, meaning that about 14 million people will be vaccinated in December.

Currently the British government has not decided whether to vaccinate everyone. He has contracts to order 132 million doses of vaccine sufficient for the entire population if required each person needs two injections.

Nearly 55 million doses may be available later this year, compared to 15 million orders a year for seasonal flu. According to British health authorities leader Liam Donaldson, the vaccine needs to undergo safety tests like seasonal flu vaccines.

The vaccine program can be implemented after being approved by European pharmaceutical regulators at the end of October. In the middle of winter, the British government hopes to have sufficient proof of safety verification to expand. The vaccination program is for healthy people.

Many people hope that children will be the first priority group, but health experts believe that the majority of deaths from influenza A / H1H1 are people with chronic illnesses, when viral infections have occurred complications .

An estimated 25,000 new cases in the UK were infected with the flu last week, compared with 30,000 last week. In Scotland, the health authority confirmed an additional 3,000 people and in Wales more than 1,600 people.

A total of 49 people in the UK died of the flu. Particularly last week was 9 cases.

According to health experts, the number of people who get the flu may decrease in the summer, but increase sharply in the fall when the start of the school season begins.
