Maybe the swine flu in Italy has reached its peak. Today InfluNet, the Italian surveillance network, has released updated datas for week 46, from November 9 to November 15. The incidence is 1.253%, a bit more than last week (1.227%). In the island of Sardinia there's still one of the lowest incidences of flu cases (0.69%). The highest rate is again in Marche region (4.197%), followed by Abruzzo (3.492%), and Emilia-Romagna (1.917%), all in central Italy.
After a glance at Google News, it looks like the news items have decreased ten folds in two weeks. Anyway, in the "most read" items of Google News there is the vaccine issue. According to La Repubblica newspaper, the Italian Deputy Minister of Health, Ferruccio Fazio, has replied to the Polish Health Minister Ewa Kopacz who doubts that the vaccines are safe. "There must be a polical explanation of what the Polish Minister has said. She can't have any technical reasons, otherwise she would doubt of the decision of WHO, EMEA, and of all the other governments that have started the vaccinatio campaign."
