CDC Briefing on H1N1 Oct. 13, 2009

A review of 1,400 hospitalizations from ten states and large cities participating in a CDC influenza surveillance system suggests some risk factors for serious complications from H1N1 swine flu.

According to Dr. Anne Schuchat of the CDC, of 1,400 adult hospitalizations, 26 percent of patients had asthma, 10 percent had diabetes and 6 percent were pregnant.

Schuchat said more than 9.8 million doses of vaccine have been made available to states, and more is rolling out all the time.

To find public sites where vaccine may become available, go to http://www.flu.gov or http://www.vdh.virginia.gov.

Virginia health care workers have already started getting vaccinated. The Richmond Ambulance Authority last week started vaccinating workers with the nasal spray version of the vaccine.

The government should supply the vaccination as soon as possible to all the people and that too free of cost.
