CARROLL COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT

SWINE FLU UPDATE

8 June 2009

 

 

NATIONAL:  Cases of laboratory confirmed and probable SF as of 11:00 am 5 June 2009 (Source: CDC)

 

13,217 in all 50 states (as of June 3) - including D.C and Puerto Rico.   27 deaths

 

For those interested, a state by state breakdown is attached to this report

 

MARYLAND:

 

89 cases of laboratory confirmed and probable SF.  No deaths.  Since the SF is now considered “here” (endemic), DHMH is no longer publishing a breakdown by Counties.

 

CARROLL COUNTY:  No cases of County residents, although over the weekend a resident of Glen Rock, PA was diagnosed with SF in Carroll County.

 

OTHER NOTES:

 

·       WHO’s Global Pandemic Phase remains at FIVE (SIX is highest).  Measures spread, not severity.

·       WHO reporting 25,288 SF cases in 73 countries with 139 deaths.

·       SF activity seems to be declining in the U.S.

·       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.
