Vaccine: all risks of free choice

By Gianna Milan

While growing alarm meningitis and increases the pressure for the new National Plan 2008-10 is provided vaccines "offer universal active and free" for vaccinations antipneumococco and meningococco C, bacteria responsible for the fearsome infection, the Veneto Region take the road of free choice. And from January 2008 through a resolution, delete the requirement for four vaccinations: diphtheria, tetanus, polio and hepatitis B. The initiative Venetian part with the blessing of the Ministry of Health, which is responsible for assessing whether and how to extend the free choice throughout the country.
"The abolition of is a theme of civilization and commitment" says Donato Greek, director general for preventive health care to the Ministry of Health. "Difficult today coexistence between mandatory and recommended vaccinations, prevention and participation is not required to, and parents and doctors are ready." But there are really today in Italy the conditions to cancel the requirement for a prior practice that has made it possible to eradicate the western hemisphere serious diseases as polio and smallpox?
"Vaccines are a medical complex, addressed to the individual but aimed at a result of health for the entire community. The free choice, albeit due, in contrast puts the rights of the individual and the community "warns Luisella Grandori, responsible for preventable by vaccination of cultural paediatricians (Acp).
The compulsory was born in a distant historical context in which the state felt obliged to decide on the health of citizens without consulting them, with their tacit consent. What is ethically acceptable today the goal of free choice?
"The path towards accession to the free vaccinations began in the late 90, when the state sanctioned the right of school attendance for children not vaccinated, but the strong differences within the national territory of immunisation coverage requires caution" says Grandori. If in the Veneto for vaccines required was in the last two years of 95 percent (critical threshold established dall'Oms), not as in other regions. According to estimates from the Ministry of Health, based on summaries sent by regions and autonomous provinces, in 2005 immunisation coverage was on average 94 percent, with strong differences between one region and another. If in Valle d'Aosta has reached 98 percent in Calabria was dell'84 and even lower in the autonomous province of Bolzano, 80 per cent.
"The elimination of the bond for vaccinations provided by law for enrolment in school has actually alleviated the commitment not to allow evasion, and in situations of greater social deprivation and institutional framework has provided an alibi the inability to offer active vaccination, at the expense of more marginalized communities, "said Michele Grandolfo of the top of Health (Iss). "Not to mention that the abolition of the danger of putting vaccines at the same level of proven effectiveness with others whose effectiveness is to prove, making them all equal and facilitating market pressure."
Where is rarefied services organization vaccine, as South, and the right and duty to vaccination is not guaranteed, risks to public health will amplify. "Some asl not have the tools to reach the most disadvantaged, which not even know that he should vaccinate" recalls Rosario Cavallo, paediatrician family in Lecce. "To be free to exercise their right conviction to be vaccinated need efficient services and policies vaccine impeccable throughout."
But in some areas of the state of South vaccine is deficient services el'offerta active has great flaws. "The obligation must be primarily services' precise Grandolfo.
The abolition of the bond if lacking organisational requirements could be premature and would undermine levels of health achieved. "So far only 72 percent of asl has un'anagrafe computerized essential to trace the children are not vaccinated, detect and monitor vaccinations carried out both diseases preventable with vaccines is adverse events" stresses Marta Ciofi dell'Iss. A good monitoring is essential to avoid unpleasant surprises. What would happen if there were a drastic decline in some vaccinations, and not mandatory?
This is the case of vaccine for measles, esantematica disease that can cause encephalitis. The national average coverage is dell'89 percent too low. The percentage ranges from 58 per cent of Bolzano to 78 of Calabria, 93 percent of Umbria. However under the safety threshold of 95 percent. The national health plan Party in 2003 provided for the elimination of the disease in 2010. But still there are outbreaks of infection: the last of these days is in Piedmont conclamati with 132 cases, including one fatal.
According to the infectious diseases department of the Ministry of Health, the coverage of compulsory vaccination has recorded a slight decline in 2005, reversing the trend of previous years. "Probably even for ideals naturalistic, biological, new age shared by parents and pediatricians," says Maria Grazia Pump, who directs the office of the ministry. Often, as the survey indicates Icon dell'Iss the national territory, failure or delay implementation of vaccination is optional, as measles, both mandatory depends on the lack of comprehensive information by doctors.
"The fears and prejudices are exceeded from the alliance therapeutic paternalism" says Michele Gangemi, president dell'Acp. "Parents who decide not to vaccinate their children can not be defined hastily opponents, but require a greater ability to listen."
Informing means properly explain the risk-benefit. "To choose freely, knowing that vaccines like all medicines have side effects. But often parents are information brochures in the hands of those who produces them "complains Eugenio Serravalle, pediatrician homeopath of Pisa.
If you are willing, even to be better, to take drugs which are known side effects, "in the case of vaccines we are less inclined to accept a bet on the future," said Fabrizio Pregliasco, virologist at the University of Milan. "The effectiveness of campaigns same vaccine reduces the perception of dangerous diseases they prevent."
Taking into account the millions of doses administered, as they are justified fears of possible damage due to vaccines? In 2006 reports of adverse reactions to the service of pharmacovigilance dell'Aifa were 1,500, between serious (fortunately rare), not serious and indefinite. And always in 2006 "there was a reduction in the number of alerts" reads in the Bulletin of information on drug dell'Aifa (No. 1 / 2007). A signal that is lowering the alert level on monitoring the safe use of vaccines? The surveillance is the only way to improve the resource they represent. "You must also report the reactions minimum in order to identify, for example, problems lot or errors in any phase of the immunization" reads the bulletin.
The supply of vaccines in childhood has become increasingly broad and strong market pressures. "The various polyvalent make it difficult today to vaccinate against certain diseases rather than against all six they vaccination with the hexavalent, which now use throughout Italy. If the single antitetanica is available, is less easy in some areas of the country find the antidifterica alone because you import from Denmark "inform Serravalle.
The doses of the vaccine against rubella, not combined with mumps and measles, should be expressly requests and those available are few. "And the contemporary doses cause reactions that are the sum of adverse events planned for each vaccine. Often it is not told the parents' regrets Serravalle.
And while we talk about overcoming the obligation, there are associations, and institutions to go below without resistance, pushing for vaccines against meningitis from meningococco C and pneumococcal (Streptococcus pneumoniae). We are pressures because in the National Plan 2008-10 vaccines come in the levels of assistance (Lea). Now the arm of iron is between State and regions that will decide who it will be up the economic burden to distribute, administer and manage any vaccination campaigns.
There are ten regions (recently has added Lombardy) and independently have introduced free vaccination antipneumococco and anti-meningococco C: in the other it is only for children at risk. But serves as a campaign of mass vaccination? The Italians are affected 4 on 1 million and impact is stable: about 900 cases a year. "There are about 90 strains of pneumococcus, a twenty those pathogens: the vaccine covers only seven who do not know how to circulate in Italy. The risk is to foster a selective pressure strains not contained and also resistant to antibiotics "warns Maurizio Bonati, Mario Negri Milan, which is part of the Committee on vaccines.
That is why the WHO requires countries that initiate vaccination activate an appropriate monitoring system. In Italy, except Piedmont, there is, although the vaccine is available since 2001. The data on incidence of infections caused by the bacterium are collected dall'Iss (and available online), but partial and inadequate ones on the various serotypes.
The vaccine does not give a total coverage for meningitis. There are two other forms, ranging from meningococco C and B (the vaccine covers only C) and Haemophilus influenzae, which affects mainly in the first 4 years of age, and whose vaccine is already actively offered to over 95 percent of new born .
"Difficult to shift for pediatricians and parents. And, even more, unravel the true public health emergencies from market pressures. In 2015-19 is expected the new vaccine serotype independent, valid for all strains of pneumococcus. Before then, unless you initiate a monitoring plan, will play only the sellers of hope "concludes Grandori.

The reasons for parents who oppose

By Gianna Milan

"The vaccine is better not to abuse". It is the position of the various movements of objection to vaccinations. "If you vaccinate useful when diseases series, as diphtheria and polio were widespread in Europe, when they reset the fact is that adverse events remain," said Andrea Valeri, responsible for clinical research for the Italian Society of Medicine homeopathic in Verona.
Tornerebbero if immunisation coverage is decreasing? "There are some data on the coverage vacinale minimum". In Germany, says, even when the immunisation coverage has fallen below 80 percent there was no return.
Among the reasons for the objection to a high number of vaccines the site of the Federation of Comilva (Coordination of Italian movement for freedom of vaccinations) lists the most common side effects: an increase in allergic diseases (one child in 10 is now asthmatic) and greater frequency of infectious diseases airway higher. "Curate then with antibiotics that predispose to allergies: a vicious circle" warns Valeri. "I see in everyday practice: children who have 8-9 vaccinations and who took antibiotics fall ill more than others. There are few studies that bring studies comparing the health of those who make a certain number of vaccines with those who do not make them. They are more healthy? It is not known. " And missing, according to the movements of objection, in the long-term studies to assess the distance any adverse events.
And the vaccine for influenza? Instead of it to solicit a response antigenic better stimulate the immune system in a natural way, especially in children. In this direction should also be the recommendations of medicine Journal: under 2 years this vaccine is completely ineffective, as a metaanalisi published on British Medical Journal.

365 days with Twitter

Just a year ago, precisely in these hours, aprivo after much insistence by Cristian Conti, an account on Twitter and soon I was sucked into the mechanism. In a few weeks, with some initial hesitation, Twitter has become in Italy a mass phenomenon, despite the blocking of receipt via SMS during the first months of the year.

By the time the service has taken the form that users, with their use, have given him: half to maintain a certain intimacy environment with their friends, half of transmission of information instantaneous and global, a public chat , The chronicle of facts public or personal in real time.

Even personal use has changed. The exponential growth of contacts and messages made it impossible to follow all of all contacts, as was possible at the beginning, and responses to public personal messages have polluted part of the conversations (if not follow both people chatting in public, ascoltassi is as if a person who speaks on the phone, losing what he says the other party) making it difficult to follow the continuous flow.

And 'fun also carry out research in special occasions, like today, and see how we succeed in all time zones, the New Year's greetings, Italian or not.

Happy New Year and then, at least strong of a certainty for 2008: Twitter is here to last.
