October 24, U.S. President Barack Obama announced that the United States into the Influenza A H1N1 influenza national state of emergency. As at 15:00 on the 27th, our province had reported confirmed cases of influenza H1N1 Influenza A total of 2961 cases. In the recent past, present throughout the influenza A H1N1 flu rapid development momentum, the epidemic prevention and control of the situation is not optimistic.

Recently, some people a fever, cough, soon will guess: I have a shed? Because the school is a high incidence of flow, and some parents are very hesitant to: To Do not give their children sick leave to avoid this epidemic period ? from May just pop up to now, a flow of popular area have been expanded to treat a flow of people’s mentality is that several ups and downs: from the initial panic and to later gradually relaxed, but also to the current anxiety, A stream of defensive measures is also a time when the tight loose. 29, the city’s first batch of the vaccine free of charge a current vaccination, first-line medical staff other six categories of priority vaccination groups, but individuals can not be purchased on their own vaccination, therefore, many people somewhat lost. In fact, to deal with a stream, easy to deal with the mentality is very important and careful in place preventive measures are also important. A stream is not necessary because the disruption of life, feelings of tension is not conducive to the contrary, disease prevention.

Not yet fully in place in vaccine cases, the public may wish to self-examination about the work flow of anti-A failed to do bits, such as sneezing and coughing, when there is no cover nose and mouth? Room every day whether it has a window air? Whether to increase the mountain climbing, hiking and other outdoor activities? Are there frequent hand-washing habits?

This is no easy task for hand washing, many people may be dismissive, but this year, the spread of Influenza A H1N1 influenza trend of large-scale “handwashing to prevent a flow” was set for the second session of the World hand-washing propaganda in China theme. Although hand-washing is that people do one thing every day, but the Ministry of Health, public information director of the Center Mao Qun’an that the current can really aware of the importance of hand washing very few people present, China’s urban children have a good hand washing habits of not more than 30 %. China Health Education Center director Dr. Xiang-Yang Tian also said that an ordinary person a quantity of bacteria on the hands of the adhesion up to 10 to the 8th power. Many people are used to the “unclean ate no disease” often talked about, in fact, this sentence should read “filthy, some sick.”

At present, China produces a stream of the vaccine by the State purchasing and storage, and the public to implement voluntary vaccinations free of charge, but not available in volume. This Mao Qun’an that hand-washing is to prevent infectious diseases, such as a stream the most economical and most fundamental way, the effect of no less than a flow of the vaccine.
