Flu news: National emergency declared for H1N1 epidemic, locally, little changes for now
Thursday, October 29, 2009


Over the weekend, President Obama declared the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, epidemic a national emergency, which allows hospitals to move emergency rooms offsite in order to help separate H1N1-infected and noninfected patients.
On Thursday, Oct. 22, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Director Margaret Donnelly announced that pregnant women and children aged 3 and younger could opt to receive an H1N1 vaccine containing a mercury-based preservative.

Currently there is a Missouri statute that prohibits the use of that type of vaccine in women and children younger than 3, but Donnelly said they could choose to receive a vaccine with the preservative because there is currently a shortage of preservative-free vaccines.

In Saline County, the health department continues to receive a limited number of vaccines each week, Assistant Administrator Russ Donnell said. This week, the breakdown was 300 regular doses, 100 intranasal mist and 100 preservative-free.

Upon receipt, the department distributes the vaccines to Marshall Medical Clinic, TLC Pediatrics, Missouri Valley Physicians, Mid-Missouri Family Health, Marshall Family Practice and I-70 Community Hospital, for physicians clinics. The department has also given some vaccines to Marshall Habilitation Center and Butterfield Youth Services for staff use.

Donnell said the department plans to reserve a small number of the mist vaccines to administer on-site for individuals who do not have a primary care provider in the area.

He pointed to an editorial in USA Today for the reason that vaccines are arriving so slowly and in such limited amounts.

"Only one of the five vaccine makers is based in the USA, and most of the production occurs overseas," it reads.

Because there remains high demand for the vaccine, it is still being administered under the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine priority group recommendations.

They are first, pregnant women; second, persons who live with or provide care for infants younger than 6 months of age; third, health-care and emergency medical services personnel who have direct contact with patients; fourth, children aged 6 months to 4 years; and fifth, children and adolescents aged 5 to 18 years who have medical conditions that put them at higher risk for influenza-related complications.

  • Calm down, people. There will never be a pandemic. It is fucking IMPOSSIBLE in a nation the size of ours. We'll stop it long before a pandemic even comes close to happening. Besides, the amount of people who have bird flu or swine flu is not even 1% of the US population!! The media and politicians are just sensationalizing as always, politicians to increase their power and media for a good story and ratings.

  • agreed, should it be the government's role to scare the citizens and buy a billion dollars of vaccine serum as the antidote ?

  • These are all good points ... thanks.

  • I have a serious comment please forgive my spelling. Lets consider both sides of the argument or a possible option. Ok. what if this is reverse effect ie the best way to get ride of non belivers of Govenment is by spreading not to take the vacine then they release a killer strain and all the non belivers die and the ones who get the vacine live id say best way to get ride of the non believers of government

  • Very good point.
