Guyana’s fight against the H1N1 Virus also known as Swine Flu will be primarily focused on non-pharmaceutical measures as there is not enough of the vaccine available locally for mass administration.
This is according to Minister within the Ministry of Public Health Dr. Karen Cummings who explained yesterday that the vaccine is simply too expensive for any mass immunization attempt.
“Whatever amount of the vaccine we have if we have any is not enough to be made available to the general public so we are calling on persons to practise good hygiene, as well as covering their mouth and nose with tissue while sneezing,” the minister noted.
