With swine flu, more of the younger ages are affected. That puts more stress on schools I thought they said this DOESN'T affect the young and old this time around. It really affects the middle aged. Hmmmmmmmmmmm |

On another note, I did have a vivid dream a few months ago about my church locking the doors and forcing people to get the shot. It could of been communion though. ;) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 603629 United States 07/22/2009 06:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.floridatoday.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 588322Florida's surgeon general says the state is preparing for massive swine flu immunizations, starting with schoolchildren, as the Obama administration urges states to prepare for the likelihood that the virus might worsen in the fall. Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services, told the swine flu summit some H1N1 vaccine should be ready by mid-October. ''Scientists and public health experts forecast that the impact of H1N1 may well worsen in the fall, when the regular flu season hits or even earlier, when schools start to open, which is only five or six weeks away,'' she said. Florida already is planning for such vaccinations, said Dr. Ana M. Viamonte Ros, Florida surgeon general, as she emerged from the summit. ''We're already meeting with local schools and day-care centers on how we would do this,'' she said. ``By mid-October we won't have doses for everyone. The vaccines will have to be directed toward individuals at high risk. It's important to determine who really is at risk. With swine flu, more of the younger ages are affected. That puts more stress on schools.'' Complicating the issue is the need to vaccinate against regular seasonal flu and the swine flu with different vaccines at the same time, Viamonte Ros said. Priorities would have to be different, because regular flu hits older people harder while swine flu is most widespread among the young. No final decision has been made on whether to vaccinate Americans, Sibelius said. That depends on studies with experimental batches that are to start in August. But if all goes well, the federal government will buy vaccine from manufacturers and share it free among the states. Local officials also worried about the prospect of closing schools if the flu gets worse in the fall. School closures last spring created havoc for working parents without day care, until health officials reversed the policy and reopened schools even if they had swine flu cases. Miami-Dade schools already are preparing for widespread vaccinations and also planning in case some schools have to close in the fall, said Wilma Steiner, Miami-Dade schools' director of health services. If Florida schools have to close again, they must be ready to use distant learning techniques to cope, she said. ''We're already using a lot of these things -- teachers posting assignments, holding study sessions online so when schools reopen the kids won't have fallen behind,'' Viamonte Ros said. Following Obama's lead, Broward and Miami-Dade health leaders said Thursday they already have extensive plans in place in case of serious swine flu pandemic this fall and winter. But they have much work to do. ''We're working really hard to be prepared,'' said Lillian Rivera, director of the Miami-Dade Health Department. ``But we've never experienced a pandemic before.'' A major concern is having enough qualified personnel available for big vaccination programs, she said. ``We're bringing in all of our community partners to qualify them to give shots -- firemen, nurses in fire departments, paramedics, medical students under the supervision of doctors.'' ''We've had a mass vaccination plan in place for some time, working with law enforcement, emergency management services and health care providers,'' said Dr. Paula Thaqi, director of the Broward Health Department. ``We're making sure we're ready with supplies, locations and staffing.'' U.S. health officials say the H1N1 flu has been relatively mild so far, and has shown no evidence of mutating into a more virulent strain. Of 170 deaths so far in the United States, 75 percent were of people with underlying health conditions such as asthma or heart problems. On Thursday, the state health department reported two more swine flu deaths -- a 55-year-old man in Duval County and a 25-year-old woman in Palm Beach County -- raising the number of lab-confirmed deaths in Florida to seven. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This report was supplemented with material from The Associated Press.
