How to prepare for pandemic

Will You Be Denied The Swine Flu Shot?

Nobody enjoys going to get a flu shot, but we do expect that if we want one, getting in line for it should simply be a matter of showing up for the event. But what if that was not the case? What if you discovered that you were actually turned away from an inoculation center because you did not fit a predefined "profile" for who is eligible to receive a shot? Ironically, in a year in which a pandemic strain is circling the globe, this is a very real possibility. Right now we know for certain that swine flu vaccines will be in short supply until sometime in 2010. That means not everyone can be vaccinated against the new pandemic virus.

WHO reports 2,500 cases of swine flu

The World Health Organization on Friday reported 2,600 confirmed cases of swine flu in 24 countries, with 43 deaths from the disease.

In the United States, the total number of confirmed cases of the H1N1 virus, as swine flu is officially called, nearly doubled to 1,644 from the day before, with reports coming from 43 states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

The U.S. Navy said Friday that 12 crew members aboard the USS Dubuque have been diagnosed with swine flu.

In fact, vaccine manufacturers let it be known in mid August that instead of the initial 120 million doses of swine flu vaccine that they had projected would be made available for distribution to the U.S. population, only 45 million doses are likely to materialize. Not only is this not great news, we still have no idea yet whether the new vaccine will even offer significant protection - the 2008 seasonal flu vaccine protected only 44 percent of those who received the shot. So the availability and efficacy of swine flu vaccine is still very much up in the air. Right now this is not a huge concern, because the virus has not claimed a large number of lives. In fact, it has so far caused no more misery than the seasonal flu, which claims up to a half million lives across the globe every year. But that could change quickly, and if the new swine flu strain suddenly proves to be significantly more lethal than it has been, people will want to be vaccinated, and finding themselves denied the shot could be very worrisome. So who *will* be allowed to get the shot when it first becomes available? First responders to emergencies need to remain healthy, as do doctors and other health workers who will take care of the sick. Members of the military are also likely to go into the line, as are children, who have shown a higher tendency to fall sick, pregnant women, and anyone with cardiac problems, high blood pressure, or other underlying health problems than can cause a lowered immune response. If you are otherwise healthy, and you are an adult, then you will likely have to go to the back of the line and wait until early 2010 before you can be vaccinated. Given that the U.S. will get its hands on an estimated 45 million doses of the new vaccine by late October, and depending on whether one or two shots are required to invoke an antibody response to the new swine flu, about one seventh (more likely), to one third of the population of the United States could be vaccinated during the first round. But if you are NOT one of the lucky first to be vaccinated, and the virus does turn significantly worse, all is not lost. There are still antiviral drugs that can be administered to break an infection that has got started in your body. To learn more about your options I recommend that you check out Survive Pandemic Flu, which was written in response to the emergence of the new pandemic. It goes into great detail about pandemic influenza, and what you can do to protect both yourself and your family from the threat.

Step 1:

Call Your Doctor if You Think You Have Swine Flu

If you are experiencing flu symptoms, and believe you may have been exposed to swine flu, contact your doctor immediately. They can take a swab of mucous and send it to the appropriate state laboratory to determine if you actually have swine flu.1 While the treatment you receive will depend on the severity of your symptoms, an accurate diagnosis will help your doctor properly plan your course of treatment.

Step 2:

Caring for Swine Flu at Home

Take precautions to avoid spreading the disease to any one else.

Keep the patient isolated from the rest of the household

The patient should cover coughs and sneezes.

Everyone in the house should practice frequent hand washing

Patients should avoid contact with people outside the home for 7 days after the first symptoms appear

Make sure the sick person gets plenty of rest and clear fluids.

Although over the counter medications may be useful in alleviating flu symptoms, do not give medications containing aspirin to children or teenagers because of the danger of Reye's Syndrome.

Ask the doctor if the patient, as well as other family members, should be taking an antiviral drug.

Step 3:

When an Antiviral Drug Should be Prescribed for Swine Flu

Viruses can develop resistance to medications used to treat them. The H1N1 virus is resistant to two commonly prescribed antivirals, amantadine and rimantadine. As of April 2009, Tamiflu and Relenzawere still effective in reducing the severity and duration of swine flu symptoms.3

The CDC has issued guidelines for which patients who have confirmed, probable or suspected novel influenza should be treated with antivirals:

All hospitalized patients 4

Children under 5, and adults over 654

All nursing home residents

Patients 18 and younger taking long term aspirin therapy

Patients who have chronic illnesses, such as chronic pulmonary (including asthma), cardiovascular (except hypertension), kidney, liver, hematological, neurologic, neuromuscular, or metabolic disorders

Immunosuppressed patients

Pregnant women

People in the high risk groups above, and their close contacts, may be prophylactically treated with Tamiflu or Relenza to prevent swine flu. Prophylactic treatment should be continue for 10 days after the last confirmed exposure

Step 4:

Signs that Immediate Medical Care is Needed for Swine Flu

While most U.S. swine flu patients to date have been successfully cared for at home, there are symptoms that require immediate medical attention. These include:

Difficulty breathing

Chest pain

Purple or blue discoloration of the lips

Persistent vomiting

Signs of dehydration

Dizziness when standing

Reduced urine volume

In infants - lack of tears when crying, dry diapers

Seizures

Confusion or other signs of altered mental status, such as being less responsive than normal
