He also explained that the vaccine is only an aid, the most important thing is that we must work to eliminate the mosquito, it must be done together, “the vaccine helps”.

“We are working to get vaccines but it is difficult because there are none on the market“.

Regarding the distribution of the transfer, it is first given to the needy sectors, as is done every year. It is distributed from house to house and this year a good number of immunizations were obtained at a good price.

“70% of patients are asymptomatic,” Mangione said.

The pressure that circulates now Dengue 2 the cosmopolitan strain and the number of cases is 400% of the average of the last five years in the entire South American region.

“You don’t need to have had dengue before to have severe dengue, in this outbreak we saw many people with severe forms of dengue without having had it before. Some of those who died had dengue for the first time and this is what is being seen in the country.”

“Fumigation is useless, it only calms concerns. “ The smoke will be on air or with fumigators, “but the mosquitoes spread out and circulate.”
