Road and the Tietê Barra Funda in São Paulo, apply the vaccine.
Who wants to travel in the Easter holiday to the region of Botucatu, to 238 km from São Paulo, take the vaccine against yellow fever preferably until this Wednesday (1st). This year we have registered 18 cases of the disease in 20 municipalities of the region. Of these, eight people died.
The vaccine against yellow fever should be taken ten days before the person go to a region where there are cases of the disease. According Helena Sato, director of immunization of the State Department of Health, the risk is greater for people who go to rural areas. "In places where there were more cases, the immunization is being increased," he said.
According to Helena, who are treated with radiotherapy or chemotherapy and have severe allergic reactions may have problems with the vaccine. Without these problems, the injection is recommended for anyone, from the age of six months. "Mostly who will travel to a site that region, going fishing, you need to take the vaccine," said Helena.
In the capital, several jobs are using the vaccine. Three of them are open every day from 8h to 20h: on the road and Tietê Barra Funda and the Pasteur Institute. In the northwest of the state, most affected, all health posts also have the vaccine available.
