Allergy vaccines scarce in Cienfuegos
CIENFUEGOS, Cuba - May 16 (Luis Miguel
González Leiva, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - Several parents
raised a ruckus Thursday morning at the
Pediatric Hospital in Cienfuegos after they
were told there was no allergy vaccine available
to administer to their children.
A hospital official gave them a telephone
number to call for the date the vaccine
would be available again.
A man who said his son, Javier, 16, has
had severe allergies since he was little,
said: "When I asked about the delay
in getting the vaccine, the official said
he had no information. Tune in to the local
radio station so that you will know when
it becomes available."
The man complained his son needs weekly
treatment and would be in danger of ending
up in hospital without the timely dosage.
"Cuba is a medical power only to Venezuela
and Latin America, but not to Cubans,"
said another man whose child also did not
get vaccinated on time.
