Santo Domingo.- Rafa Rosario, the lead singer of leading Dominican merengue band Los Hermanos Rosario is due to be discharged from a Santo Domingo clinic after responding positively to treatment for dengue fever.
He was hospitalized on Friday and found to be suffering from classic dengue. As a result, Los Hermanos Rosario had to call off several performances scheduled for the weekend at several venues around the country.
The merengue star thanked fans for their good wishes and said that, “thank God I am recovering and will be discharged in the next few hours”.
Rafa Rosario said he hoped to be back on stage soon.


There are many vaccines against the flu for example that are dispensed on the young, adult and elderly
to protect them from these costly ailments that take a yearly toll on lives as well as loss of income because of high employee absenteeism due to loss of work days because of these easily
transmitted diseases.
Lets have a vaccination plan for all citizens next year, free for the ones that can't afford to pay and
with a modest payment for those that can.
I understand that, there is no vaccine now for mosquito caused dengue fever, and there won't be one for another 10-15 years but I was mainly referring to flu vaccines, but there are also vaccines that protect you against hepatitis and pneumonia.
We have a long history of suffering from flu epidemics that lower your immune system defenses and can make you more susceptible to getting other diseases, and is a vicious circle that can be avoided.
