"We have more of the political flu than real A/H1N1 of seasonal flu",
said President Viktor Yushchenko during a live telephone press
conference at the office of Komsomolskaya Pravda Ukraine answering
questions about the epidemic situation in the country, press office of the president reported.
The
President pointed to a number of errors in Government's healthcare
policy in preventing and fighting flu outbreak in Ukraine.
Particularly, he said the vaccination against seasonal influenza has
not been conducted. "The Government is not prepared for vaccination,
although the society has been discussing it from April", said Victor
Yushchenko.
He added that due to the fact that the World Health
Organization predicts a second wave of flu epidemic in Ukraine, the
Government and particularly the Ministry of Health should draw
conclusions out of the poor organization of fighting the first wave of
the epidemic.
