H1N1 Flu Update Preparedness

 

Flu related activity is widespread in 41 states and influenza-like illness, flu-related hospitalizations and flu-related deaths are all higher than expected for this time of year. Almost all of the influenza viruses identified so far are 2009 H1N1 influenza A viruses.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a three-step approach to fighting the flu: vaccination, everyday preventive actions, including covering coughs, frequent hand washing, and staying home when sick, and the correct use of antiviral drugs if your doctor recommends them. These 2009 H1N1 viruses remain similar to the virus chosen for the 2009 H1N1 vaccine, and remain susceptible to the antiviral drugs oseltamivir and zanamivir with rare exception. The 2009 H1N1 vaccination has begun but initial supplies are limited. More doses are expected for shipment each week. Assure members of the public who want to receive this vaccine to be patient as this program expands and more vaccine becomes available. There eventually will be enough vaccine available for anyone who wishes to receive it.
