Pregnant women and children are the last of the risk groups to whom the vaccine is being administered and, apparently, it is the future moms who are most reluctant to do so.
It is logical, they do not think only of their future, but also of the future baby they are pregnant and in the lack of data confirming security of the flu vaccine A.
In La Rioja, for example, 1,587 pregnant women have been telephoned with the recommendation to administer the vaccine and only 350 have come to the call to get vaccinated, that is, approximately, one in five. The main reason for the little success of the vaccination campaign against flu A It is the fear of possible side effects. As we have said on other occasions, there is little data on the safety of this vaccine in pregnant women, the prospectus recommends that, in the absence of data related to the use of the vaccine in pregnancy, consult the doctor and, of course, If we read in the media that 7 out of 10 doctors are avoiding getting vaccinated, it is logical that a pregnant woman doubts the decision to immunize with the vaccine.
If we add to this that the first data on the side effects of vaccines are already known, that some women are experiencing abortions after being vaccinated (although the cause must still be demonstrated, since as the Ministry of Health says, the abortion rate spontaneous during the first trimester of pregnancy ranges between 10% and 15%) and that the flu A He has behaved in other countries in a more benign way than seasonal flu, it seems obvious that the decision is more difficult than it seems.
