States Should Plan for H1N1 Vaccinations as Numbers Rise More
Published On: June 27th, 2009
The number of U.S. cases of H1N1 virus that have been defined by a lab has topped 27,000, with 3,000 of those involving hospitalization and 127 death, the Centers for Disease Control said in a news briefing this afternoon.
The agency also said there have been 34 known outbreaks in summer camps, an unusually high number for that setting but not unexpected, given the virus can spread more easily when at-risk individuals congregate. (Guidance for camps can be found here).
On the vaccine front, the CDC said it hasn’t made actual decisions about who should be vaccinated. But it wants states to begin thinking about how they would vaccinate younger people, pregnant women and those with underlying health conditions — those who seem to be more seriously affected by the flu, according to Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC’s Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
“We expect to be providing specific planning scenarios to states and communities that they can use in trying to understand which populations they’ll need to be reaching,” said Schuchat.
The H1N1 vaccine under development will require multiple shots, according to Bloomberg, which said least 50 million doses will be available by Oct. 15.
