Good morning, thank you for a nice summary, Dr Pavithra. You are doing a great job. Gives you the classroom feel! I know it involves a lot of effort, well done and best wishes
No doctor. WHO classifies India under Southern Hemisphere tropical Asia vaccination zone.In India, both NH and SH influenza vaccines are available.For this season, WHO has recommend influenza vaccine with different strains for the NH and SH. At present, influenza vaccine meant for those living in northern hemisphere, is available and being used in India. WHO recommendations on vaccine formulation for India strongly favor the Southern hemisphere vaccine rather than the one for Northern hemisphere. Not many pediatricians are aware of these facts and continue to prescribe the available vaccine without going through the details. Prescribing the currently available NH vaccine in India is not scientifically correct and will not serve the purpose of vaccination. REf: Indian Pediatr 2019;56: 80
Maam, shouldn't India come in the northern hemispheres (lies above the equator)? And WHO has released new vaccine guidelines for 2020 with new strains in September
India is categorised under Southern hemisphere for influenza vaccine. Updated vaccine has come for Northern hemisphere and composition different for egg based and recombinant. For southern it is still Brisbane,south Australia for A and Washington and Phuket for B. If you have the link to anymore updates please mention, so we can all learn
