First Swine Flu deaths in Sweden & Norway

Norway and Sweden have both recently announced their first Swine Flu, the first death from H1N1 virus in a Nordic country.

Thursday, reported the Norwegian Health officials that the Danish truck driver had fallen in the pneumonia infection. Man is the first victim in accordance with Danish Danish healthcare system. Much else is known other than that he had his thirties and were understood to have contracted the virus while working.

On Friday, reported the Swedish city of Uppsala, Sweden, to a man in the thirties, was pronounced dead, after displaying flu-like symptoms in their own homes. Close Akademiska Hospital doctors later confirmed that test results show the presence of H1N1 virus.

Sweden is not a man traveled abroad, although there are few reported cases, none of the A strain is selected in the area around the university city of Uppsala, about 80 kilometers north of Stockholm. Swedish officials have suggested that nearly one thousand cases, the swine flu infections have been reported in the country for years.

In August, led the Swedish municipalities and regions / SKL, the government 18 million doses of swine flu vaccine enough for the entire population recommended to receive a double dose calculation. The first dose is given to the end of September, with follow-up, three weeks later.

Sweden has adopted the possibility of infection very seriously, banning teachers from a school principal, Borlange shaking hands with the students. Also some consternation among politicians, leading up to elections this month, giving limits for human contact. Every child with photo opportunities are likely to be withdrawn.

Many of the Swedish Church, the issue of communal wine cups of disease transmission by altering the traditional alcohol-free wine and light stronger, fortified wine, travel, which is very happy patrons.

Swine Flu spreads to Europe

While the Europeans first could have gone with little knowledge of the foreign risky situations, which are now in a state of fear as the number of cases in Africa are still swelling. First European victim was found in Spain, twenty-three years ago came from a vacation in Mexico, after complaints of chest. He was ordered to stay home for at least seven days.

Wide range of common symptoms that a person who has received the swine flu shows range from mild fever, cough, sore throat, body pain, fever and headache, other important indicators such as pneumonia and respiratory failure. The virus spreads from person to person in droplets from coughing and sneezing, which is powered by air and deposited on the mouth or nose from nearby victims. While each is possible, in accordance with these symptoms, pregnant women and persons with chronic medical conditions are most sensitive.
Medical centers in Europe have been filled to launch advocacy campaigns such as "Catch it, Bin it, Kill him!" In order to prevent in many cases as possible. Doctors are actually encourages people to wear facemasks and include coughing and sneezing in sharing common space with other people. Distribution of antiviral drug Tamiflu, is on track, thanks to the European Commission and the resources that keep associations to help countries in the EU is ready. Despite enough produced and is available to European citizens, EU officials are not sure that the vaccine had the effect, if you get millions of people, so there is still air of uncertainty. Social care workers are vaccinated first, followed by pregnant women and children under five years. Pensioners are unpredictable at the back of the list. In Greece, vaccinated the entire population.

What no one ever think that swine influenza in the end could be such a grubstake. For pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies firms offering health advice and media exposure alone and headers are converted into currency. For young tourists who do not have enough money to travel, this may be a unique opportunity to take trips at the lowest price. The fever-flu information on the restoration of the need to read newspapers frequently, resulting in a healthy flow of money within news organizations.

Contrary to the cynics who are already speculating on the worst scenario, where one third of the British population will contract the virus H1N1, optimists argue that ninety-eight percent of victims who had the infection again fully without any hospital treatment. After all, swine flu is just another reason to leave hell, and other species of birds, such as avian flu. The real fear factor in cases of swine influenza is the possibility of mutation.

Europe speed up launching Vaccine

The unit of the winter, before the pigs should be vaccinated against the flu, and many European government, a new vaccine for the flu fast - tracking test, the security problem that is causing concerns about the vaccine, some experts say the best medicine.

European Drug Agency, Europe, the top drug regulator, the speed of the approval process, swine flu vaccine, and the country the United Kingdom, Greece, France and Sweden, the vaccine after it greenlighted - and has probably started weeks.

Fukuda, in an interview with Dr. Keijo AP Communications, World Health Organization's influenza chief, not a warning about the potential dangers of vaccines to stop mothame approach in Europe, although the lack of criticism.

"One of the things I can not endanger the safety of the vaccine," he said. "Some areas of the economy to create some areas where savings can be simple and not, perhaps, but I can."

Influenza vaccination for 40 years, and is used only for the influenza vaccine, a new folder: swine flu virus include a fever, many experts are unnecessarily extensive testing.

If you are shooting a new vaccine can get the rare side effects, millions of people can not be the cause of the European Union. However, he was in favor of saving lives is the value of gambling.

"Everyone can do in the situation far from ideal," Martin Harvey - Allchurch, a spokesman for the European Pharmaceutical Organization said. "Winter flu season, we must make the vaccine available."

In Europe, hundreds of people in the influenza vaccine, usually a few weeks or few months to help the immune system to fight infection, the test is to produce enough antibodies.

But gotroseo, European pharmaceutical companies vaccine approved institution of higher numbers than the general public so that you can skip the test can be used as possible to ensure swine flu vaccine.

Swine flue vaccine in Europe

LONDON (AP) - In a drive to vaccinate people against swine fever before winter several European governments that they will. Fast-track testing a new flu vaccine Add Some of those concerns. Experts about the safety and suitability of the vaccine doses.

European drugs agency of the European Union regulations on the body is to accelerate the drug approval process. Swine flu vaccine and for countries such as England, Greece, France and Sweden say they will start the vaccine after it greenlighted - may be within weeks.

In interviews with the relevant Press Dr Keiji Fukuda of the World Health Organization's influenza chief warns about potential hazards from The vaccine trial even if he has not stopped short of criticizing Europe's approach outright.

"One of the things that can not be compromised is the safety of vaccines," he said Friday. "There are some areas you can make a number of economic areas, but could you just Some try not economic. "

Flu vaccines are used in 40 years and many experts say extensive testing is unnecessary swine flu The new vaccines are: swine influenza virus.

But European officials will not know that any new vaccine causes fewer side effects. Until millions of people get shot. Also said the benefits of saving lives is worth the gamble.

"Everyone made the best they can in situations far from ideal," the Ratns Harvey-Allchurch. The spokesman for the European drug agency. "With the winter flu season near, we must ensure that a vaccine."

European flu vaccine is usually tested in several hundred to several weeks or months. Ensure that the immune system produces enough antibodies to fight infection.

However, to ensure that pork is the fastest-flu vaccine in Europe, drug agents. To help companies across many people in the test before you are approved vaccine.

Main problem is that rigorous testing by the difficulty in measuring the effective volume - Europe may see the vaccines are too weak. It is likely that vaccine, but until all threats are used in many people will not. Who know with certainty

Europe seems ready to use vaccine widely before acting on any of the major studies To prove it is safe and effective. Do not do drugs or vaccines European agency will inform all the basic safety testing done.

If the U.S. is more cautious approach: the government called Wednesday for the thousands of volunteers injected with the swine flu vaccine will begin testing in August evaluate vaccine safety, the U.S. officials that the results should be ready when the United States plans to Roll out a vaccination campaign in October.

Results from the American experiment will be limited for use in European countries from the United King - For example, empire they have plans to start vaccinating in August - before the U.S. trial data. Vaccines used in the United States will differ from those in Europe.

Some experts favor rapid response.

"In the lack of vaccine if the virus is very high for violence" said Leonard Marcus is a public health specialist at Harvard University. "If (the power) at any time necessary to ensure that no side effect, ironically trying to save a few lives many lives may be lost."

But critics say the dangers lurk in every inoculation strategy with robust test

Truncated data is influenza vaccine adjuvants components using anti-stretch mark ingredient used in some European influenza vaccine, influenza vaccine is not copyrighted in the United States to the mix.

There are also limitations in the data or the safety and effectiveness of adjuvants for vaccines for children under 3 and pregnant women - two of the most vulnerable groups in a pandemic - global scourge

Mass swine flu vaccination campaign will occur in the shadow of the 1976 swine flu fight disaster when hundreds of U.S. development Guillain-Barre. Group of symptoms, the disease has been paralyzing disorder vaccine.

Experts do not know why it happened but said the modern vaccine production techniques. Improvements since 1976 to avoid a similar occurrence some extensive testing before ". Vaccine is rolled out is significant.

"I can see no excuse not to test for safety before everyone" Anna George said a bioethics expert at Boston University.

If the vaccine proved to have dangerous side effects that may cause public backlash, especially in countries like the UK, many people remain suspicious of the vaccine because of unsubstantiated allegations linking the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine to the deep. knot Which could lead to millions of people refusing vaccination

When bird flu crisis, press the last several years, European drug agencies established specifically to approve the vaccine protocol. For use in a pandemic as soon as possible.

Agencies to submit information for the company. "Deceiving the H5N1 Avian Influenza vaccine use. The idea is to optimize the test before the world when it spread. Have struck drugs enables deployment of pandemic vaccine viruses in the last minute.

When the first swine flu vaccine available, European drug agencies will agree they are most dependent on information from bird flu. The two major vaccines are the same basic ingredients.

If the agency determined that avian flu information swine influenza viruses expected to work will see it said the spokesperson. Harvey-Allchurch.

Agencies to report on regular vaccines because of the rule - the normal controlling action in advance.

Fukuda said that all who associated with making vaccines from manufacturers to monitor unit A look at what steps can be to streamline the process.

"But no one disagrees that one of the absolutes, there can be no question that the vaccine is safe or not," he said.

Which reported that the swine flu virus does not produce enough of the key ingredients for vaccines. Which may limit how much vaccine. Sit network operations work to develop this new set of viruses that will work. Hope better.

Drugs as well as enabling Baxter International, GlaxoSmithKline plc, Novartis and Sanofi-Pasteur. But claim they can start shipping the first batches of vaccine soon.

British health officials have repeatedly said they will begin to vaccinate in August, as soon as the vaccine has been approved. Other European countries including Greece, France, Sweden, said they want to use the vaccine after it has been represented by green light. European Union but none other than the United Kingdom is expected to start filming Movie next month.
