Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Africa Europe Latin America Middle East North America More vaccine has US urging swine flu shots for all By LAURAN NEERGAARD,AP Medical Writer - Friday, December 18 Send IM Story Print WASHINGTON – A flu shot for the holidays? Finally, the nation's supply of swine flu vaccine will reach 100 million doses by week's end, opening the way for everyone, not just those at highest risk, to get protected. For people who've been at the back of the line, "Now it's your turn," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Thursday. Even though this new flu that scientists call the 2009 H1N1 strain is ebbing, specialists stressed that it's too soon to say it's over. There's plenty of illness going around, and the 1957 flu pandemic ebbed in the fall only to bounce back in January and February. "We have a wonderful window of opportunity to prevent or lessen a third wave," Sebelius said. The first wave of the swine flu pandemic began in April, when the strain was discovered. A larger wave started in the late summer. Through mid-November, about one in six Americans have caught this new H1N1, and about 10,000 have died, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates. Far more children and young adults have gotten seriously ill and died than in a normal flu year. Despite severe vaccine shortages until now, a lot of high-risk people have gotten vaccinated, including many more pregnant women than in a typical year, health officials said Thursday. In-school vaccine clinics inoculated so many schoolchildren that the CDC is considering pushing more school-based vaccinations every year. Thirty-four states held widespread in-school vaccinations, some inoculating more than half of their school populations, the CDC said. Rhode Island, for example, vaccinated three-quarters of its students. "This is a very important legacy," said Dr. Tom Frieden, the CDC's director. Focusing on schoolchildren even in a regular flu year "may well tamp down the spread of flu in a community." The concern now is the people will lose interest in swine flu vaccine just as supplies finally are adequate enough that states are lifting restrictions. Even drugstore chains in parts of the country are starting to get enough supply to offer doses to anyone. Historically, interest in flu vaccine plummets by the holidays, even though the regular winter flu usually revs up in January or February. Will the swine flu crowd out regular winter flu this year? It seemed to in some parts of the Southern Hemisphere but not others, and it's too early to know here, Frieden said. The U.S. has ordered enough bulk vaccine to make 250 million doses, and may not need that much, although the government doesn't want manufacturers to quit working. "We'd rather have too much than too little," said Nicole Lurie, assistant HHS secretary. Some will go to developing countries, and depending on what happens later in the winter some may not be made. But some also could be reserved for next year. Next year's all-in-one flu vaccine probably will include protection against this H1N1 strain, Frieden said. ___ On the Net: Government's flu site: http://www.flu.gov/ Recommend Send IM Story Print Related Articles Fla. man exonerated after 35 years behind bars AP - 2 hours 18 minutes ago Mass. woman charged with murder in womb-cut case AP - 2 hours 18 minutes ago Mudslide kills 8, destroys houses in Peru Andes AP - 2 hours 19 minutes ago UK judge convicts Kurd of `honor killing' daughter AP - 2 hours 19 minutes ago UN Climate talks: US, China edge toward each other AP - 2 hours 20 minutes ago News Search Top Stories BA wins court battle to stop Christmas strikes US jobless claims rise for second week Strikes put new pressure on Greek government Court set to rule on BA Christmas strike Asians, Africans 'left out of stem cell research' More Top Stories » Related Full Coverage Full Coverage on swine fluMore on swine flu All Full Coverage » ADVERTISEMENT Most Popular Most Viewed Most Recommended Tiger's wife Elin seeking divorce: reports Century-old butter found in Scott's Antarctic hut Asians, Africans 'left out of stem cell research' Boeing's Dreamliner in maiden flight Earliest proven case of leprosy found in Israel More Most Viewed » Global stocks mixed amid Dubai debt crisis Tiger's wife Elin seeking divorce: reports Tiny magnetic discs could kill cancer cells: study Virgin unveils spaceship to offer space tourism Tiger Woods' girlfriend apologizes in TV interview More Most Recommended » Elsewhere on Yahoo!
