CDC to recall 800,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine
By MIKE BLASKY
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
About 800,000 doses of the H1N1 vaccine distributed across the United States are being recalled because they aren’t potent enough, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notice.
The doses were intended for children aged 6 months to 35 months. The recall is not safety related, and health officials say children who have been administered an H1N1 vaccine do not need to be re-vaccinated, according to the CDC.

“The vaccine potency is only slightly below the ‘specified’ range,” CDC officials wrote on its Web site.
Southern Nevada Health District spokeswoman Jennifer Sizemore said it’s not clear whether children in Las Vegas were administered any of the recalled doses.
If any children have been given a less-potent dose, Sizemore said their families will be notified, but no additional treatment is necessary.
The CDC recommends that children 10 years old and younger receive a second dose of the H1N1 vaccine about one month apart from the first. If a child has been given a less-potent dose, they should still receive their second scheduled vaccination.
According to the CDC, the doses passed required potency tests prior to shipment, but “was later measured to be below pre-specified limits.”
The CDC did not specify why the doses dropped below potency requirements.

As Interest in H1N1 Vaccine Wanes, a Surplus Is Feared

Tuesday, December 15, 2009
By Jessica Ryen Doyle
Health officials across the U.S. have been worrying for months that there won't be enough H1N1 vaccine to immunize everyone who needs protection against the flu virus.
But this week, some officials in central Ohio said there may be a surplus due to waning public interest.
A spokesman for U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday it’s too soon to tell if there will be a surplus.
"Supply and demand varies across the country," said Tom Skinner, a spokesman for the CDC. "Some areas have a greater demand than supply, and other areas vice versa. Whether there will be a surplus or not is hard to say right now."

Skinner said the CDC will not be surprised if there is an uptick in flu activity after the New Year, which would definitely drive up the demand.
"We have a window of opportunity to get people vaccinated in that we’re seeing declines in flu activity across the country, but we may see the uptick later," Skinner said. "We definitely want people to get vaccinated – particularly those in high-risk groups."


People in high-risk groups include pregnant women, young adults, children and anyone with a compromised immune system, or pre-existing condition, such as asthma.
Many counties across the country, including those in Texas and Tennessee, are making the vaccine available to everyone – not just those in high-risk groups. In central Ohio, for example, everyone who is at least 6 months old is eligible to get the vaccine.
Fewer states are seeing widespread H1N1 activity, but the seasonal flu virus is starting to make an appearance.
"More than 110 million out of 114 million doses (of the seasonal flu vaccine) have been distributed, so people who want to get vaccinated and have not gotten vaccinated may have to look around for it," Skinner said.
Studies are showing that the H1N1 virus is less serious than initially feared -- at its worst, the virus is only a little more serious than the seasonal flu, according to researchers at Harvard University.
Still, 50 million Americans have been sickened by the virus and 10,000 have died from it in the first seven months of the pandemic.

(2) Regrets says:
I got both vaccines on Thursday. I was 9 weeks pregnant. I miscarried on Sunday. I was told by several doctors to get these vaccines. Now I wish I followed my gut feeling and not get them at ALL!

(7) SoSorry says:
I was so ready to get the H1N1 vaccine last week and they were only giving them to pregnant women. I was 6 weeks along and got it and the next day I started cramping and miscarried. I already had two healthy pregnancies and never miscarried or had any problems. My doctors think I am crazy to think it was the H1N1 but if no one looks into this than other women will not know. I am so sorry that I got it.

CDC: About 1 in 6 Americans have had swine flu (Update) So I have a question Mr. Thomas Frieden, Director of the CDC ???_Global Activist

 

 

 

Dec. 11th. 2009

Open Letter to Dr. Thomas Frieden, Director of CDC

Sir,   You are quoted in National AP news releases stating 1 in 6 Americans,

give or take 50 million, had Swine Flu. 


It is my understanding that only hospitalized or dead victims of this flu were tested for Swine H1N1. If this is true, and the test cost around $200 each, 

how can you confirm any cases that were not tested?

CDC travel notice on swine flu (PDF)
FORT JACKSON, S.C. (AP) -- Thousands of Army recruits in training have to line up at least once more before heading home for the holidays - for mass inoculations of hundreds at a time against swine flu.

The Army's largest training camp, just outside Columbia, and other posts are hurrying to finish the shots before the year-end break. More than 40,000 soldiers in advanced and basic training across the country head home over the next two weeks in a massive troop movement known as "block leave," Army officials said.

"We have been very aggressive in trying to assure the safety of our soldiers," said Maj. Soo Hee Kim-Delio, the Army physician in charge of the inoculations at Fort Jackson. "Our basic training population is at particularly high risk."

Swine flu, also known as 2009 H1N1, has proved to be similar to seasonal flu but a bigger threat to children and young adults. Many of the trainees are in their late teens and early 20s.

The soldiers are also vulnerable because of the physical stress of basic training and from living at close quarters with hundreds of other recruits, Kim-Delio said. When they return home, they may be rubbing shoulders with a host of relatives or be around children fresh from exposure at school.
Fort Jackson recorded the Army's first death from complications of swine flu when Spc. Christopher Hogg of Deltona, Fla., died Sept. 10th from pneumonia due to H1N1 influenza, authorities said.

Fort Jackson started the shots about two weeks ago and expects to vaccinate as many as 9,000 soldiers by the end of this week and another 2,000 by the middle of next week. The trainers who remain on post, the Army's medical work force, family members, pregnant women and those with certain medical conditions such as asthma also will get the shots for a total of about 15,000 doses, Kim-Delio said.

Overall, the Department of Defense purchased 2.7 million doses of the H1N1 vaccine, which it is trying to deliver to soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines around the globe before the end of the year, department spokesman Col. Wayne Hachey said.

At the Army's sprawling Fort Campbell, on the Kentucky-Tennessee line, over 7,000 soldiers have been vaccinated, according to Laura Boyd, a spokeswoman for Blanchfield Army Community Hospital. Another 5,000 doses have been given to families, retirees, school children and others in the community.

Flu shots are mandatory for all active duty men and women unless they have a medical condition such as an egg allergy, officials said.

"It's just one more shot in a long list of shots," Staff Sgt. David Gavula said after rolling up his sleeve for a swine flu shot at this post's vaccination clinic.
Gavula, of North Kingstown, R.I., also got a seasonal flu shot several months ago. But if left to his own devices, "I probably wouldn't bother to do it," the 26-year-old infantry soldier said with a shrug.
