La OPS advirtió que 12 países de las Américas están en riesgo alto o muy alto de experimentar un brote de poliomielitis.
La Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS) instó el miércoles a que los países refuercen urgentemente la vigilancia y las campañas de vacunación contra la poliomielitis, tras detectarse en comunidades no vacunadas en Nueva York, EE.UU.
“Han pasado casi 30 años desde que las Américas se convirtieron en la primera región del mundo en eliminar la polio por poliovirus salvaje”, declaró la directora de la OPS, Carissa F. Etienne, quien afirmó que “la disminución de las tasas de vacunación, agravada por la pandemia de Covid-19, ha dejado a muchas de nuestras poblaciones desprotegidas”.
La alta directiva refirió que esta es una enfermedad que “no esperaba volver a ver en nuestra región”, mientras recalcó que “no debemos dar por sentado el poder de las vacunas para salvar vidas”.
El ente regional subrayó que la poliomielitis, la cual puede propagarse rápidamente entre las comunidades con una cobertura de vacunación insuficiente, no es una enfermedad tratable, pero es totalmente prevenible con vacunas.
La cobertura de vacunación ha caído por debajo del 80 por ciento en casi toda Sudamérica comunicó la OPS, mientras que 12 países de las Américas están en riesgo alto o muy alto de experimentar un brote.
La directiva de la OPS exhortó de igual manera a los países de la región a intensificar sus campañas de vacunación contra la Covid-19, en particular en el Caribe y alertó sobre los casos de viruela símica, los cuales están aumentando en algunas partes del continente.
Ante este panorama Carissa F. Etienne refirió que si conservamos el compromiso podemos mantener la Covid-19 bajo control, “no ignorando, sino continuando el uso de las muchas herramientas que tenemos a nuestra disposición para rastrear, y sobre todo prevenir, las infecciones”.

Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal. I must say you have done a very good job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Safari. Exceptional Blog!
