Diphtheria and Haiti: On The Brink Of Avoidable Mass Mortality

05/08/2010
tags: Diphtheria, Disaster Recovery, Dr. Gupta, Haiti, Haitian Earthquake, Sean Penn, Vaccines
by Mitch Chester
Diphtheria is an upper respiratory tract illness, which left untreated, can be deadly. According to activist Sean Penn, on the ground in Haiti on
May 7, “This is exactly the kind of thing that can kill masses of people.”
So what does diphtheria vaccine cost? Surprisingly little. Visit the Centers for Disease Control Vaccine Price List. As of April 23, 2010, a 10
pack of the vaccine can cost, at a non-governmental rate, $18.23. Logistics, refrigeration and proper distribution are the challenges, it’s not the
cost.
Mr. Penn is right. Relief agencies are not prepared. Pleading from the streets of Port-au-Prince, he correctly protests, “Nobody can say this is
any surprise…this is the beginning unless everybody realizes the disaster is still on…There won’t be a Haiti to rebuild without the people of
Haiti.”
With vaccine aid to Haiti moving at a glacial pace, what can we do to help what Dr. Sanjay Gupta characterizes as a “preventable, stupid
death” on a mass scale? The frustrating and horrible last 11 hours of this once animated 15 year old victim’s life is an early warning. He is the
first confirmed case of Diphtheria in Haiti in the aftermath of the January earthquake.
We must not be complacent. As donors of aid to organizations on the ground, it is time for us to stand up for accountability and
responsible action, so that the money donated to save lives is actually spent, as quickly as possible, to prevent further population loss.
I, for one, am alarmed and angry that millions upon millions of contributed dollars have not been used to prevent short-term, but
avoidable, carnage. Stories about monies being retained for future Haitian relief programs abound. The administration of vaccines does
http://sharedemergency.wordpress.com/2010/05/08/diptheria-and-haiti-on-the-brink/ 5/8/2010
not take as long as it does to provide new infrastructure for the island nation. If we put our minds to the task, hospitals can be supplied
appropriate vaccines in just a day with the right logistics. We need to help Haitians cope with their exceedingly harsh environment with an
immediate vaccination program.
We should join Sean’s voice with ours. There is still time to act with vaccines, but the clock is ticking.

z About the Editor
SharedEmergency is here for a number of reasons. First, the traditional media is failing the American public, and many stories and issues
are ignored. Next, I discuss ideas and issues by also advancing potential solutions, so I am not just identifying a topic, but trying to
constructively add to the voice of those seeking resolution of the problem. Third, I have ideas and like to write and broadcast in the "new
media." Lastly, but most importantly, this blog is devoted to my son and his children, who I hope will inherit a better world.
