Polio is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus. It invades the nervous system, and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours. The virus enters the body through the mouth and multiplies in the intestine. Initial symptoms are fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness in the neck and pain in the limbs. One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis (usually in the legs). Among those paralysed, 5% to 10% die when their breathing muscles become immobilized. There is no cure for polio, it can only be prevented. Polio vaccine, given multiple times, can protect a child for life.
Compare in newborns the immunogenicity and safety of the vaccine OPV produced by Birmex compared with the vaccine OPV produced by Sanofi Pasteur, both produced in Vero cells.

The hypothesis proposed in this study is that the 2011-2012 Seasonal Influenza Vaccine (including H3N2 and H1N1 subtypes of serotype A strain over the serotype B) administered to 15ug (without adjuvant) via intramuscular in pregnant women will be safe and immunogenic.

The morbidity associated with scorpion sting intoxication presents an endemic pattern in the country, where there are highly venomous species of scorpions so the scorpion sting intoxication (IPPA) is considered a medical emergency.
On the other hand, there is scarce scientific literature from different controlled studies evaluating anti-scorpion serum, considering clinical severity scales, lab results and their safety. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of scorpion sting treatment, using two sera, one produced by Birmex versus Alacramyn ® (Bioclon).
