The original article "Antivaccine lobby resists introduction of Hib vaccine in India" (BMJ 2010; 340: c3508) translated from English Ing. Marian fill.
Campaign against vaccine against Haemophilus big book influenzae type b (Hib) in India launched several healthcare professionals to delay the government's plans for the introduction of the vaccine into the national immunization program for children.
Ministry of Health last year (2009 - ed. Cursed.) Announced that it will replace the standard vaccine against diphtheria, big book tetanus and pertussis 5-component vaccine that will protect children and Hepatitis big book B and HiB.
Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (Global Alliance big book for Vaccines and Immunisation = GAVI), after consultation with the Ministry of Health (MoH) of India has undertaken in August 2009 to provide grant 165 million. dollars (= approx 110 million. pounds = about 135 million. ) for the introduction of a new vaccine, which in 2010 covered big book 10 million. children in 10 of the total 28 states of India.
According to estimates GAVI Hib bacteria that can cause serious bacterial meningitis and pneumonia each year kills more than 370,000 children worldwide. Approximately 20% of these deaths occur in India.
However, a campaign that has developed against Hib vaccination, requires that MH India carelessly on the recommendations of its own advisory group for vaccination, but they asked an independent committee of experts, whether it is really big book necessary to introduce Hib vaccination in the national immunization program in India. Committee of experts now agrees with the Advisory Group and asked the Ministry big book of Health of India to introduce this vaccine in selected states of India and assess its effectiveness in curbing meningitis before the vaccination will be introduced in other states of India.
However, a member of the committee of experts, who wished not to be named, big book told the BMJ: "Concrete steps to introduce the five-component vaccine in the national immunization program ever seen. Indian anti-vaccination lobby, it seems, has succeeded in influencing health authorities."
Representatives of the campaign against Hib vaccination argue that India lacks epidemiological data that would justify the introduction of the vaccination program big book in public health.
Dr. Jacob Puliyel, a pediatrician at the Hospital of St. Stephen in New Delhi, who is the leader of the campaign against the vaccination, said: "The incidence of Hib appears to be small. Hib vaccination would be a waste of scarce public resources."
Critics of 5-component vaccine also said that its implementation would be substituting cheap vaccines for significantly more expensive. Madhavi Yennapu, health policy analyst from the State Research Institute of Science, Technology and Development in New Delhi (New Delhi = New Delhi, capital of India - Ed.

Many pediatricians and specialists in communicable diseases, however, sharply big book criticized the government's hesitation about 5-component vaccine. Panna Choudhury, Chairman of the Committee vaccination Indian Academy of Pediatrics (Indian Academy of Pediatrics' big book committee on immunization) said: "The truth is that we do not have actual data on the incidence of Hib, but the absence of data does not mean that the disease is not here. Nobody big book can deny the pneumonia is in India leading cause of death among children under 5 years. "
MZ India Committee assembled big book to assess the need for vaccination in India said: "Conservative estimates from the available data from India talking about 52,000 cases of meningitis and 260,000 cases of pneumonia that occur each year due to Hib."
Hib vaccine is available in the private health sector for over 10 years and in India it used almost exclusively wealthy sections of the population. Thekkara Jacob John, a member of the Committee of Experts and former director of the Department of Virology at the Christian Medical College (Christian Medical College) in Vellore, said: "It would be unethical not to allow access to the vaccine poorer by being prevented its introduction into the national immunization program .

But critics, who brought the action in the public interest against the 5-component vaccine, said they will continue their campaign through medical journals and courts.
