More doses of flu vaccine expected to be available

Wonder why this is posted now, in May? http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/nation/14613329.htmMore doses of flu vaccine expected to be availableBY NANCY MCVICARSouth Florida Sun-Sentinel

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - As many as 120 million doses of flu vaccine are expected to be available later this year to protect Americans from the annual onslaught of fever, sneezing and coughing, federal health officials said Thursday, and the vaccination "season" will extend from October into January and February, which is typically the peak flu season.

, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's influenza division, said three major manufacturers expect to produce 100 million doses this year, compared with 80 million in 2005, and a fourth manufacturer may supply an additional 20 million doses.

Typically, manufacturers gear up to begin shipping vaccine by late September, with vaccinations being given in October and November. But in recent years manufacturing problems have delayed shipments. Since the peak of flu season usually occurs after the holidays in some states, shots given as late as December and January will still be effective.

The CDC and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases are recommending that young children - ages 6 months to 59 months - get vaccinated, and are discussing whether to eventually include all school-age children.

"Young children who get the flu are very often hospitalized," said Dr. Henry Bernstein, who serves on the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on infectious diseases. Two years ago 153 children died from flu complications, he said, and in most cases they were healthy before they came down with the virus.

Last year the CDC added babies from 6 months to 23 months to the list of those considered at high risk for complications from flu, and this year that is extended to children up to age 5. Giving the vaccine to as many as 60 million school-age children might also help stop the spread of the illness, Bernstein said.

"Children are the great distributors (of the flu virus)," he said. In households with babies up to 6 months old, who cannot take the vaccine, everyone who comes into contact with the child should be vaccinated, he said.

Dr. Ardis Hoven, an American Medical Association trustee, said more effort must be made to get health care workers - doctors, nurses, nursing assistants and physician assistants - vaccinated each year.

"Only about 40 percent of health care workers are getting vaccinated," she said. "They need to be reminded that if they get shots it will protect them, their families and their patients."

The Proaganda Machine never stops!

You mean you're not thinking about flu in May?

Didn't " they " say that the regular flu vaccine may offer protection

in the event of a Bird flu pandemic?

Kind of like after 9/11 going after to Saddam Hussein. It's all

relative, right?

I can't wait for them to put those little chips in the vaccines so I can light up whenever I pass a power station.

I must admit I watched a few mintues of it. Somewhere in the middle

of the movie.

Actually, it was very comical, stupid, far fetched, just completely

and utterly awful.

Technically, I think it could be classified as a comedy.

Although, I think they could have done a better job with the story

on South Park.
