Santo Domingo.– Global
flu activity remains low with the exception of Hong Kong, Madagascar,
El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic, reported the Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy (CIDRAP).
According to the latest update by the World Health Organization (WHO), influenza activity in the northern hemisphere temperate regions is
continuing to decline or back to baseline levels indicating the season
is ending.
It added that activity in the tropics is low except for Hong Kong and
Madagascar, where H3N2 viruses are predominating. In addition, activity
began to increase in the Dominican Republic and El Salvador in late
April, according to an international flu-activity roundup from the US
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this week.
H3N2 predominates in the Dominican Republic and pandemic 2009 H1N1 (pH1N1) in El Salvador.

roy the facts don`t lie vaccines when taken in high dossages can be fatal or harmfull . The united states is at all time high with autistic children running around , throwing temper tamtrums like freaking maniacs . Make no mistake about it vaccines do indeed caused autism to children and not to mention its high on mercury .

I have found that the annual flu injection has worked well with me an of course flu can be a killer just as cholera can be ..the chances of getting flu here are much much greater than cholera which can be treated so easily if you go to a hospital when the signs are there. I would be more concerned here in the DR at preventing diabetes and kidney infections .
I suppose there are those who wil blame the government for people coming down with the flu , diabetes, cholera or kidney infections and they believe that a person has no responsibility to take care of his own health

Ricky, I wouldn't put flu in the same category and Cholera. Even hospitalized patients with a drip, have died from the disease.
However I agree wholeheartedly that most ill heath is lifestyle-related and avoidable. In my view it is not the government's responsibility to protect us from our own carelessness, or to pick up the tab afterwards.

"Make no mistake about it vaccines do indeed caused autism to children"
I think he's mistaken -
"One of the most noteworthy allegations of vaccine-induced injury is the MMR vaccine controversy. A 1998 paper by Andrew Wakefield, originally published in The Lancet, presented supposed evidence that the MMR Vaccine (an immunization against measles, mumps and rubella that is typically first administered to children before their first birthday) was linked to the onset of autism spectrum disorders.
Written by: RoyStone, 10 Jun 2012 1:17 AM

Wakefield was accused of fabrication of data after attempted replications of his experiment did not support a link between vaccination and autism spectrum disorders. It was also later revealed that Wakefield's research had been funded by litigants against vaccine manufacturers, bringing to light a conflict of interest that would have prevented the paper's initial publication. The article was partially retracted in 2004 by Wakefield's co-authors, and was fully retracted by The Lancet in 2010.Andrew Wakefield has since been struck from the Medical Register, and can thus no longer legally practice medicine in the United Kingdom.

Wakefield's research is an often-cited example of pseudoscience due to its inability to be replicated, deliberate manipulation of data, and conclusions being driven by personal interest, meeting several of the pseudoscientific criteria outlined by Michael Shermer's Baloney Detection Kit. Psychologist Keith Stanovich addresses the case of the vaccination-autism link briefly in his 2009 book How to Think Straight About Psychology. Stanovich states that the MMR vaccine is administered around the same time in an infant's development that autism spectrum disorders are typically diagnosed, which may have led to the fallacious belief in an illusory correlation between the vaccine and the onset of autism. This suggestion is supported by the fact that the link was first observed by parents, who went on to sue vaccine manufacturers, and not by health professionals or scientists who would have been trained not to make such an error.

Only loonies, especially religious loonies, oppose vaccinations. These idiots, not only endanger their innocent children's health, and even life, also endanger others who do not share their stupid conspiracy theories or religious superstition. In my view they should be denied all publicly-funded medical treatment, except pregnancy termination, sterilization and euthanasia.

Opposition by Muslim fundamentalists is a major factor in the failure of polio immunization programs. In Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Taliban have issued fatwas opposing vaccination as an attempt to avert Allah's will, and as an American plot to sterilize Muslims. The Taliban have kidnapped, beaten, and assassinated vaccination officials, including assassinating the head of Pakistan's vaccination campaign in Bajaur Agency.

In the early 2000s Islamic religious leaders in northern Nigeria advised their followers not to have their children vaccinated with oral polio vaccine. The boycott caused cases of polio to arise not only in Nigeria but also in neighboring countries. The followers were also wary of other vaccinations, and Nigeria reported over 20,000 measles cases and nearly 600 deaths from measles from January through March 2005. In 2006 Nigeria accounted for over half of all new polio cases worldwide. Outbreaks continued thereafter; for example, at least 200 children died in a late-2007 measles outbreak in Borno State.

i am in the mood for a Sunday Afternoon Licking, so get out the licking sticks, as i am going to say this, regardless of who likes it,or not. epidemics are controlled by proper hygiene regimens. everybody with any knowledge of health care knows that people do not catch colds, and the flu, by walking in the rain, but by contact with the germs. most people catch colds from handling things like doorknobs. that is why public toilets , and such, are automatic, to prevent one person from using the flush handle after another person has done so. the DR is a fertile playground for germs such as the flu, because nobody uses things like handkerchiefs. they all stop one nostril with a finger, and blast phlegm in all directions. no good can come of that. i am amazed when i am standing with some guys here, and they simply go into the snot blowtorch routine, leaving bacteria everywhere, then shaking hands with you, right after. no wonder one guy gets sick, the whole area gets sick.

Dready you are half right.
You are absolutely correct about the vectors for cold and flu viruses, and the role of the "Dominican hankie". (You forgot to mention spitting - also a vector for tuberculosis, and Cholera from lack of hygene.)
However getting a chill from being caught in the rain can weaken ones immune system to allow these viruses to take hold. It amuses me to see Dominicans scurrying and panicking when it starts to rain. No one has a raincoat, as if it has never rained before on a tropical island! Also vitamin C deficiency also weakens the immune system. Dominican oranges are awful, however the grapefruit is good (ignore the black fungus, its harmless) and acerola (they call them cherries) are much higher in vitamin C. Just avoid the masses of sugar Dominicans use (that's why so many die from diabetes).

Well lets look at some of the things that inside these vaccines , Tenatus vaccines cointains the following .
Sodium hydroxide : among other things , this can burn internal organs, cause blindness, lung and tissue damage, and be fatal if swallowed. It is found in oven , bathroom and toilet cleaners.
Formaldehyde : a neurotoxin known to cause cancer. It may also cause insomnia, coughing, headaches , nausea , nosebleeds and skin rashes. It is also used to embalm corpses.
Hydrochloric acid: this can destroy tissue on direct contact and is found in aluminium cleaners and rust removers.
Aluminium: toxic cancer causer.
Thimerosal: a mercury derivative and extremely dangerous preservative. It is made from a combination of ethylene glycol antifreeze and ethanol, thiosalicylic acid, sodium hydroxide and ethyl mercuric chloride. These chemicals are deadly and can cause cancer together with brain and liver damage.

Yes, hellborn25,
but you forgot to mentioned water, and more people drown in water than die from all of the above. They don't use enough water to drown in? Absolutely, and they don't use enough of the other things to be harmful either.

Heres what one of america`s most celebrated paediatricians, the late Robert Mendelsohn, said about vaccines:
There have never been a single vaccine in this country that has ever been submitted to a controlled scientific study. They never took a group of 100 people who were candidates for a vaccine, gave fifty of them a vaccine and left the other fifty alone to measure the outcome. And since that hasn`t been done, that means if you want to be kind, you will call vaccines an unproven remedy. If you want to be accurate, you`ll call people who give vaccines quacks.

yes, Roy, i agree with you that if you do get a severe chill from a rain shower, you will experience a drop in your immune system. you also get a drop in your immune system when your diet consists mainly of foods fried in a gallon of oil.

dreads with roy type of logic , eveything is bad for you , so why should we not use harmfull things in our body ? How can you compare water something that we need in order to live , to exitotoxins attacking brain activity and stability.

This is what vaccines do to the immune system ,
They attack the immune system with their chemical and metalic poisons, like mercury . This undemines the strength and effectiveness of the immune system and the chemical/ electrical balance of the brain/body the victims become open to all sorst of medical and mental consequences because of overwhelmed immune systems and chemical/ electrical imbalances.
You are right on the money it is another scam to give people another shot of poison and kill off a few thousand.
