· As of June 4, 770 U.S.
hospitalizations, or 2.5% of national cases.
Hospitalizations are generally among younger people: 60% of SF cases and 42% of hospitalizations
are highest in people 5 to 24 years of ages and next highest in children under
5. Very low hospitalization rate in
people 65 years of age and older.
CURRENT
PUBLIC HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A CARROLL COUNTY RESPONSE:
· Nothing immediate
· An H1N1 is vaccine is under
development at five manufacturers (GSK, Sanofi, CSL, MedImmune and Novartis). Provided the vaccine performs effectively in
clinical testing, the CDC is currently planning on shipping millions of doses
of H1N1 vaccine to the States and localities in mid to late Fall for use in
nationwide mass vaccination clinics. The
H1N1 vaccination clinics are NOT anticipated to run concurrently with the
routine seasonal flu clinics, but will most likely take place after the
seasonal clinics. There could be a short
period of overlap. CCHD will be planning
for these additional H1N1 mass vaccination clinics over the Summer. The maximum vaccination output with internal
CCHD nurses is about 2,500 vaccinations in an 8 hour period. At this point, it appears that the H1N1
vaccination will require to two doses per person.
