CDC Reports: Severe Flu Season Expected, Get Your Flu Shot Immediately

December 6, 2014 By Rebecca McGhee 2 Comments

Flu Bacteria and CDC report

Flu shot is essential for the health of people especially this winter season. Recently, Center for Disease Control and Prevention warned people about the flu bacteria.  The national public health institute said that people should immediately get vaccination in order to protect themselves from severe flu.

A few days ago, the government health institute stated that ordinary flu vaccine would not be able to fight with the flu this year. The seasonal bacteria which are generally known as H3N2 would be very dangerous this year.

The CDC informed that this winter flu will cause more damage to people’s health as compared to the last year. Even most of the vacancies utilized earlier would not be able to fight with the bacteria.  Undoubtedly, vaccine may fail to protect you from the lethal bacteria but it does not mean that it is completely useless.

Dr. Ed Belongia, a member of CDC’s Advisory Committee stated that shortly after the publication of this report people will certainly think that vaccines are ineffective. However, this is not the case here.

Furthermore, CDC reported that children under 5 would be the desired target of the flu virus. As far as adults are concerned, people above the age of 65 especially pregnant women should take additional measures to avoid the flu.

However, people with sensitive immune system or patients suffering from chronic like diabetes, heart disease; lung disease and asthma are at the high risk.

Some of the flu symptoms are cough, sore throat, runny nose, high fever, chills, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Victom Of Flu Season? The Treatment Is Not Enough! Go For Vaccine

December 5, 2014 By Germaine Hicks Leave a Comment

Flu-vaccination

Flu is set for an early and strong start in the St. Louis territory.

Across the country reports demonstrate most cases are caused by a toxic strain of the Type A influenza virus — about 50% of which are not secured well by the vaccination.

“The uplifting news is that 50% match what’s in the vaccination, and the awful news is that 50% don’t,” said Dr. Donald Kennedy, infectious disease professor at the St. Louis University.

Despite the fact that the vaccination does not exactly match a strain that is found in a large portion of cases learned at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, vaccine can in any case give some security by diminishing the probability of serious results, for example, hospitalization and death.

As a result of a late bounce in the number of cases, regional health authorities are urging anyone age 6 months and more to get vaccinated at the earliest opportunity.

“Flu is around the town,” Kennedy said. “We’ve seen a staged increase in the number of cases recognized.”

While the number of cases across the nation stays low, zone hospitals and the St. Louis County and city health divisions have reported the number of cases have tripled over the two weeks ending Nov. 30.

Dr. Dolores Gunn, director of the regional health division, said, “We have seen considerably more cases — with 50% of the cases among kids and youngsters — and this concerns us as this is a vaccine-preventable ailment.”

Flu is an infectious respiratory disease portrayed by muscle pains, headache and fever. Kids, youngsters, pregnant women and those with certain medical conditions are at higher risk of intricacies.

Influenza season can vary yet normally commences in December, sometimes as late as January and February, and stays 6 to 8 weeks. From 15 million to 60 million Americans may be contaminated via seasonal influenza, contingent upon the seriousness of the flare-up. More than 200,000 individuals are hospitalized every year for influenza related intricacies. Around 36,000 of them die yearly.

“The best defense against the influenza virus is vaccination,” Gunn said. “Getting immunized isn’t pretty much securing yourself. It’s likewise about securing others. If you don’t get influenza, then you can’t spread this virus.”

As per the health advisory issued this week by the CDC, there are three sorts of influenza infections — A, B and C. So far this season, the H3n2 strain of sort A has been reported frequently across the nation. Past seasons prevailed by H3n2 saw higher hospitalization and death rates.

Type A is always showing signs of change and is usually the cause behind influenza pandemics. Early every year, researchers attempt to foresee which strains are prone to circulate the next influenza season, and they incorporate three or four in the vaccination.

So far this year, the vaccination does not seem to be a good match.

The CDC advisory reported that 48% of the H3n2 viruses gathered this season match the strain in the vaccination, while 52% are diverse. Researchers refer to the mismatch as a drifted strain.

“The closer the vaccination is to the strain the better the defense is,” Kennedy said. “The further away it is, the less defensive it is.”

Dr. Bo Kennedy said symptoms of patients he sees in the St. Louis Children’s Hospital hold up the information that a floated strain is bringing on mayhem. He sees vomiting and diarrhea more frequently, he said. Few patients were sick regardless of having been immunized yet had low virus tallies, recommending the vaccine offered some safety.

The government bulletin also focused on the vitality of beginning antiviral medication as early as possible when a patient is hospitalized or at higher risk of complications.

While seasonal influenza resembles an alarming adversary this season, Kennedy at SLU said that the viewpoint can change as more virus samples are gathered or other types of virus start to spread.

“If the Cardinals win all the competition in the initial two weeks of the season, does that imply that they are going to win the World Series?” he said. “It’s simply too soon to know whether this will be maintained the whole influenza season.”

As Winters Are Approaching, Brace Yourselves for Flu Season

Healthcare experts revealed recently that Ebola isn’t the major fear among Americans. Winter is approaching and with it, flu season is also upon us. Experts declare that influenza virus signifies a considerably greater threat than anyone believe.

Healthcare workers remind the public that the flu is airborne, Ebola isn’t. Actually, influenza is among the list of America’s top ten killers. Way back in 2010, influenza and pneumonia triggered the dying of 54,000 people, whereas Ebola only has stated one life within the entire U.S.

Dr. Marc Bonin, Medical Director of the Emergency Department at The Good Samaritan Hospital, said, “The major problem with influenza is that, every year, it’s pattern varies in intensity, which causes it to be difficult to predict. It’s a vital for everyone to be vaccinated at the start of the growing season.”

These reasons are persuasive enough to get people vaccinated, that is still considered the primary protection against the flu virus.

Jennifer Health, the immunization nurse specialist with the Minnesota Department of Health, said, “We’re beginning to determine flu circulate. It’s time to get your influenza shot without a doubt.”

The 2013’s statistics reveal that, only 1 / 2 of all People in America got vaccinated and due to the current Ebola scare, government bodies fear that the significance of flu shots continues to be drowned out. As a result, they’re giving flu shot reminders to make certain that the public is accustomed about the importance of the disease.

Formerly, periodic cases have evolved and hospitalization was essential in a minimum of two cases. For instance, in Pennsylvania, authorities reported 184 flu cases in just one county. It’s also very difficult to calculate influenza pattern every year as circulating strains utter the seriousness of the condition.

In addition, Canada has also started preparing for flu season. Private wholesale suppliers have formerly initiated distributing flu shots in Alberta, where up to 50% of the province is scheduled to get the vaccination. Countrywide, 12m vaccines have already been ordered, though, their delivery is certain to present a distinctive challenge for public-health government bodies.

Dr. Marc Bonin said in a statement, “As per the CDC statistics, it takes approximately two days for antibodies to build up to an amount where a person is protected. We persuaded everyone out there to get vaccinated as soon as possible.”

A lot of patients reject flu shots after becoming ill despite having been vaccinated. It’s vital that you realize there are many viruses circulating, and many can mimic flu symptoms. Additionally, the vaccine does not offer 100% protection, however, it makes symptoms milder if an infection does occur, Dr. Deborah Lubitz, pediatrician with Good Samaritan Pediatrics stated.
