When will the Swine Flu vaccine be available to people with medical conditions who get priority?
Will it be different from the one they had in the 70’s that killed several and paralyzed my cousin for 3 days?
Earliest availability mentioned earlier is mid october. It has entered trials in human patients now, and those will last about 2 months. Barring any major set-backs there should be a wide release by November. Given that you will need 2 doses the effective dose will not be until the second dosage resulting in a lack of viable coverage until around December. The first shot would be minimally effective or ineffective without receiving the second shot 30 days after the first. Historically these dates are after the first fall wave of a flu pandemic and at the beginning of the winter wave.
Quakes in China, India, Bhutan, Indonesia, Fiji, Samoa. Flooding in the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia poverty and hunger in Africa. The economic recession in Europe, U.S. and Asia. Rise of Islamic terrorism in the Middle East and North Africa, and Southeast Asia. Increased racial tensions in Europe. rampant spread of AIDS, SARS, avian flu, swine flu. Rapid rise in number of cancer patients. - Remember that a prophet once said that the number of earthquakes, tsunamis, wars, storms, floods and pandemics just before 2012.
Tell us what mark the last days, Jesus went on to say: "It rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another pestilences and food shortages, and there will be terror and large signs from heaven. "(Luke 21:10, 11) Jesus also said:" This good news of the kingdom shall be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness unto all nations and then shall the end. "(Matthew 24:14) Jesus mentioned events, wars, earthquakes, plagues, food shortages, it would something new in themselves. They have been occurring since the beginning of human history. The difference is that they all come at a time. Ask yourself, "Where has all the aspects mentioned in the Gospels occurred at the same time? Since 1914, man has witnessed devastating wars world, major earthquakes with its tragic consequences, such as tsunamis, widespread diseases like malaria, influenza and AIDS, millions of people consumed by lack of food, a global climate of fear due to threats of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, and the preaching of good news around the world heavenly God's kingdom. These events have occurred just as Jesus predicted. Keep in mind also what the apostle Paul wrote: "Know this, that in times of the last days critical, difficult to deal with the desire to be here. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, faithless, without natural affection, not subject to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to his power. "(2 Timothy 3:1-5) Yes," critical time "marked by widespread lawlessness, wickedness, cruelty and aggression in search of itself it would be evident throughout the land. Some people shudder at the thought of "the last days." (2 Timothy 3:1) Everything you imagine are the moments critical. Why are so many throughout the ages awaits them? Because the last few days also indicate that better times to come. War, conflict civil, crime, violence and hunger are some of the things that affect humanity today and make millions of people live in fear and dread. Do any of these affected you? Then note what God promises: "Just a little more, and the wicked will be no more… The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, which are with its truth exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. "-Psalm 37:10, 11." My people must live in a quiet and stay in residences of full confidence and in undisturbed resting places. "Isaiah 32:18 -." Come to be a lot of grain in the earth at the top of the mountains there will be an overflow. "-Psalm 72:16. "As one listens to me, he will live in safety and tranquility of fear of calamity."-Proverbs 1:33. "No resident say, 'I'm sick. '"Isaiah 33:24." [God] will wipe every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither mourning nor outcry nor pain any more. The former things have passed. "-Revelation 21:4." As the last enemy, death is to be reduced to nothing. "-1 Corinthians 15:26. These perspectives can be yours, because the Bible assures us: "] [God's will is that all kinds of men to be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth." (1 Timothy 2:4)
In April 2009, a novel influenza virus began to spread around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) refers to the virus as Influenza A(H1N1). The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other Administration officials refer to it as 2009 H1N1 flu. Throughout this report, the virus is referred to as H1N1. Although H1N1 does not appear to be as lethal as H5N1 avian influenz…
One ordinary December day, I took a tour of my hospital with Deborah Yokoe, an infectious disease specialist, and Susan Marino, a microbiologist. They work in our hospital’s infection-control unit. Their full-time job, and that of three others in the unit, is to stop the spread of infection in the hospital. This is not flashy work, and they are not flashy people. Yokoe is forty-five years old, gentle voiced, and dimpled. She wears sneakers at work. Marino is in her fifties and reserved by nature. But they have coped with influenza epidemics, Legionnaires’ disease, fatal bacterial meningitis, and, just a few months before, a case that, according to the patient’s brain-biopsy results, might have been Creutzfeld-Jakob disease — a nightmare, not only because it is incurable and fatal but also because the infectious agent that causes it, known as a prion, cannot be killed by usual heat-sterilization procedures. By the time the results came back, the neurosurgeon’s brain-biopsy instruments might have transferred the disease to other patients, but infection-control team members tracked the instruments down in time and had them chemically sterilized. Yokoe and Marino have seen measles, the plague, and rabbit fever (which is caused by a bacterium that is extraordinarily contagious in hospital laboratories and feared as a bioterrorist weapon). They once instigated a nationwide recall of frozen strawberries, having traced a hepatitis A outbreak to a batch served at an ice cream social. Recently at large in the hospital, they told me, have been a rotavirus, a Norwalk virus, several strains of Pseudomonas bacteria, a superresistant Klebsiella, and the ubiquitous scourges of modern hospitals — resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis, which are a frequent cause of pneumonias, wound infections, and bloodstream infections.
Each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, two million Americans acquire an infection while they are in the hospital. Ninety thousand die of that infection. The hardest part of the infection-control team’s job, Yokoe says, is not coping with the variety of contagions they encounter or the panic that sometimes occurs among patients and staff. Instead, their greatest difficulty is getting clinicians like me to do the one thing that consistently halts the spread of infections: wash our hands.
There isn’t much they haven’t tried. Walking about the surgical floors where I admit my patients, Yokoe and Marino showed me the admonishing signs they have posted, the sinks they have repositioned, the new ones they have installed. They have made some sinks automated. They have bought special five-thousand-dollar “precaution carts” that store everything for washing up, gloving, and gowning in one ergonomic, portable, and aesthetically pleasing package. They have given away free movie tickets to the hospital units with the best compliance. They have issued hygiene report cards. Yet still, we have not mended our ways. Our hospital’s statistics show what studies everywhere else have shown — that we doctors and nurses wash our hands one-third to one-half as often as we are supposed to. Having shaken hands with a sniffling patient, pulled a sticky dressing off someone’s wound, pressed a stethoscope against a sweating chest, most of us do little more than wipe our hands on our white coats and move on — to see the next patient, to scribble a note in the chart, to grab some lunch.
This is, embarrassingly, nothing new: In 1847, at the age of twenty-eight, the Viennese obstetrician Ignac Semmelweis famously deduced that, by not washing their hands consistently or well enough, doctors were themselves to blame for childbed fever. Childbed fever, also known as puerperal fever, was the leading cause of maternal death in childbirth in the era before antibiotics (and before the recognition that germs are the agents of infectious disease). It is a bacterial infection — most commonly caused by Streptococcus, the same bacteria that causes strep throat — that ascends through the vagina to the uterus after childbirth. Out of three thousand mothers who delivered babies at the hospital where Semmelweis worked, six hundred or more died of the disease each year — a horrifying 20 percent maternal death rate. Of mothers delivering at home, only 1 percent died. Semmelweis concluded that doctors themselves were carrying the disease between patients, and he mandated that every doctor and nurse on his ward scrub with a nail brush and chlorine between patients. The puerperal death rate immediately fell to 1 percent — incontrovertible proof, it would seem, that he was right. Yet elsewhere, doctors’ practices did not change. Some colleagues were even offended by his claims; it was impossible to them that doctors could be killing their patients. Far from being hailed, Semmelweis was ultimately dismissed from his job.
Semmelweis’s story has come down to us as Exhibit A in the case for the obstinacy and blindness of physicians. But the story was more complicated. The trouble was partly that nineteenth-century physicians faced multiple, seemingly equally powerful explanations for puerperal fever. There was, for example, a strong belief that miasmas of the air in hospitals were the cause. And Semmelweis strangely refused to either publish an explanation of the logic behind his theory or prove it with a convincing experiment in animals. Instead, he took the calls for proof as a personal insult and attacked his detractors viciously.
“You, Herr Professor, have been a partner in this massacre,” he wrote to one University of Vienna obstetrician who questioned his theory. To a colleague in Wurzburg he wrote, “Should you, Herr Hofrath, without having disproved my doctrine, continue to teach your pupils [against it], I declare before God and the world that you are a murderer and the ‘History of Childbed Fever’ would not be unjust to you if it memorialized you as a medical Nero.” His own staff turned against him. In Pest, where he relocated after losing his post in Vienna, he would stand next to the sink and berate anyone who forgot to scrub his or her hands. People began to purposely evade, sometimes even sabotage, his hand-washing regimen. Semmelweis was a genius, but he was also a lunatic, and that made him a failed genius. It was another twenty years before Joseph Lister offered his clearer, more persuasive, and more respectful plea for antisepsis in surgery in the British medical journal Lancet.
One hundred and forty years of doctors’ plagues later, however, you have to wonder whether what’s needed to stop them is precisely a lunatic. Consider what Yokoe and Marino are up against. No part of human skin is spared from bacteria. Bacterial counts on the hands range from five thousand to five million colony-forming units per square centimeter. The hair, underarms, and groin harbor greater concentrations. On the hands, deep skin crevices trap 10 to 20 percent of the flora, making removal difficult, even with scrubbing, and sterilization impossible. The worst place is under the fingernails. Hence the recent CDC guidelines requiring hospital personnel to keep their nails trimmed to less than a quarter of an inch and to remove artificial nails.
Plain soaps do, at best, a middling job of disinfecting. Their detergents remove loose dirt and grime, but fifteen seconds of washing reduces bacterial counts by only about an order of magnitude. Semmelweis recognized that ordinary soap was not enough and used a chlorine solution to achieve disinfection. Today’s antibacterial soaps contain chemicals such as chlorhexidine to disrupt microbial membranes and proteins. Even with the right soap, however, proper hand washing requires a strict procedure. First, you must remove your watch, rings, and other jewelry (which are notorious for trapping bacteria). Next, you wet your hands in warm tap water. Dispense the soap and lather all surfaces, including the lower one-third of the arms, for the full duration recommended by the manufacturer (usually fifteen to thirty seconds). Rinse off for thirty full seconds. Dry completely with a clean, disposable towel. Then use the towel to turn the tap of. Repeat after any new contact with a patient.
Almost no one adheres to this procedure. It seems impossible. On morning rounds, our residents check in on twenty patients in an hour. The nurses in our intensive care units typically have a similar number of contacts with patients requiring hand washing in between. Even if you get the whole cleansing process down to a minute per patient, that’s still a third of staff time spent just washing hands. Such frequent hand washing can also irritate the skin, which can produce a dermatitis, which itself increases bacterial counts.
Less irritating than soap, alcohol rinses and gels have been in use in Europe for almost two decades but for some reason only recently caught on in the United States. They take far less time to use — only about fifteen seconds or so to rub a gel over the hands and fingers and let it air-dry. Dispensers can be put at the bedside more easily than a sink. And at alcohol concentrations of 50 to 95 percent, they are more effective at killing organisms, too. (Interestingly, pure alcohol is not as effective — at least some water is required to denature microbial proteins.)
Still, it took Yokoe over a year to get our staff to accept the 60 percent alcohol gel we have recently adopted. Its introduction was first blocked because of the staff’s fears that it would produce noxious building air. (It didn’t.) Next came worries that, despite evidence to the contrary, it would be more irritating to the skin. So a product with aloe was brought in. People complained about the smell. So the aloe was taken out. Then some of the nursing staff refused to use the gel after rumors spread that it would reduce fertility. The rumors died only after the infection-control unit circulated evidence that the alcohol is not systemically absorbed and a hospital fertility specialist endorsed the use of the gel.
With the gel finally in wide use, the compliance rates for proper hand hygiene improved substantially: from around 40 percent to 70 percent. But — and this is the troubling finding — hospital infection rates did not drop one iota. Our 70 percent compliance just wasn’t good enough. If 30 percent of the time people didn’t wash their hands, that still left plenty of opportunity to keep transmitting infections. Indeed, the rates of resistant Staphylococcus and Enterococcus infections continued to rise. Yokoe receives the daily tabulations. I checked with her one day not long ago, and sixty-three of our seven hundred hospital patients were colonized or infected with MRSA (the shorthand for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and another twenty-two had acquired VRE (vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus) — unfortunately, typical rates of infection for American hospitals.
Rising infection rates from superresistant bacteria have become the norm around the world. The first outbreak of VRE did not occur until 1988, when a renal dialysis unit in England became infested. By 1990, the bacteria had been carried abroad, and four in one thousand American ICU patients had become infected. By 1997, a stunning 23 percent of ICU patients were infected. When the virus for SARS — severe acute respiratory syndrome — appeared in China in 2003 and spread within weeks to almost ten thousand people in two dozen countries across the world (10 percent of whom were killed), the primary vector for transmission was the hands of health care workers. What will happen if (or rather, when) an even more dangerous organism appears — avian flu, say, or a new, more virulent bacteria? “It will be a disaster,” Yokoe says.

Avian Influenza - Caution is the only way to Prevention
The outbreak of bird flu among poultry is common in several places along the four corners of the world. Especially the Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia has been particularly vulnerable to the ravages of the epidemic on recent times.
It has also been reported that the disease has been sporadically occur in humans in these countries. Not that the epidemic limited to these parts of the world. In Europe, even in the American continents, Africa and Australia, the epidemic has been the reason of mass destruction and chaos through of yesteryear.
This situation has raised serious public health threat in the continents where bird flu infection is common among birds has become endemic in the region and that human infections will continue to occur. Therefore, it has become a mandatory step throughout the world make drastic measures and preventive measure against disaster before the pandemic breaks out.
Caution is the only form of prevention While scientific studies and research has shown that influenza viruses are generally not transmitted through human to human by any biological or physical, but it remains essential to human race time to be prepared if a pandemic breaks out. Under these preventive measures on a few take on those continents that are prone to it.
Some Highlights of prevention programs that include international monitoring and vaccination of poultry, in severe cases of bird smuggling, and bans in the import of birds from areas that are prone to avian influenza.
Quick quarantine and culling of infected flocks also can help reduce the chances of the vastness of the virus effectively. avian flu vaccine being tested in human volunteers and storage of such vaccines and other antiviral drugs are widespread and throughout the world to combat any possible outbreak.
Caution for common man Given the current scenario, has advised those planning to travel to a country where there has been an outbreak, to avoid any contact with chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, turkeys, quail or wild bird.
Should keep away from live bird markets, local poultry farms or anywhere else might be infected poultry. Surfaces that may have been contaminated by the saliva, possibly, poultry, urine or feces should also be avoided. Organization and CDC can be useful to warn travelers.
In April 2009, a novel influenza virus began to spread around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) refers to the virus as Influenza A(H1N1). The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other Administration officials refer to it as 2009 H1N1 flu. Throughout this report, the virus is referred to as H1N1.

Some people don’t realise that kittens and cats need regular vaccinations just like puppies and dogs do. By getting routine vaccinations for your feline companions will greatly reduced their risk of contracting several feline diseases.
A kitten should be vaccinated around nine weeks old and a second round of vaccinations should be given at 12 weeks. Then they should have a booster vaccination yearly. These regular boosters will help give your cat protection against cat “flu”, feline parvovirus and feline leukemia.
Below are some of the diseases and vaccinations that your cat should have to keep them healthy and fit.
Feline infectious enteritis also known as FIE is a severe and often fatal internal infection. It is caused by feline parvovirus and this type of vaccination has been very successful in preventing this condition. This is a widespread disease and unvaccinated cats are at high risk of developing this disease.
Cat “flu” has two types of vaccinations which are to prevent feline herpesvirus also known as FHV-1 and feline calicivirus (FCV). These vaccinations help protect your cat from prolonged illness caused by the different kinds of “flu” that are commonly seen in your area.
Feline leukemia virus also known as FeLV vaccination is a must if your cat goes outdoors. It is not an airborn disease and can only be passed on via direct contact between cats. This disease is a lifelong infection which is usually fatal. It is very important to protect your cats from this very serious disease.
Feline chlamydophilosis causes conjunctivitis in cats. It is spread by direct contact between cats. If you have a multi-cat household or have kittens you should ask your vet if your cats should be vaccinated for this.
Once your cat has been vaccinated or receives a booster shot, you will be given a certificate stating that your cat has been vaccinated and for what. You should keep this certificate in a safe place and take it with you when you get your cat its yearly booster shots. Many animal boarding places won’t allow your feline companion to stay unless you have a certificate verifying they have up-to-date vaccinations.
Another thing to remember is that you should de-worm and use some type of flea application regularly on your cat. Depending on which products you choose to use will depend on how often you will need to do this. If you are unsure, ask your vet for suggestions on products to use and how often.
The average lifespan of a healthy indoor cat is 15 years. You might want to consider getting pet insurance on your cat or kitten in case their will be any unforeseen medical expenses in the years to come. You have health insurance on the rest of your family and for peace of mind you might want to consider buying cat insurance on your feline friend.

These days all one seems to hear in India is “Bird Flu”. The disease which has taken a major part of India in its grip, has not only severly affected the poultry industry of the nation but also it has sent panic bells ringing across the states – from Delhi in the North to Tamil Nadu in the South, to West Bengal in the East, the latter being worst affected. Even the World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared the current outbreak of Bird Flu in India as the worst case reported till date.
In the affected areas, chickens are being culled at a rapid pace, but still the disease is spreading its wings from one district to the other, from one state to another. One primary reason for the rapid spread of Bird Flu is the lack of awareness about the virus which causes the disease. Almost everyone knows that the disease is lethal, but not many know what causes it, how it spreads, and how it can be prevented.
Keeping in mind the scale and spread of Bird Flu virus that has taken its toll in India, Headlines India decided to give its readers an insight into the disease, which first broke out in 1997 in Hong Kong, affecting 18 people and claiming 6 lives.
What is Bird Flu?
Bird Flu, also known as Avian Flu, is an influenza caused by virus, which affects birds. It might sound surprising, but the fact is that birds, like humans, are vulnerable to influenza. Influenza viruses can be divided into three types (strains) — influenza A, B and C. Type A is responsible for the deadly influenza pandemics. Type B can lead to smaller, more localized outbreaks. Type C, less common and more stable than other strains, has milder symptoms. Types B and C are usually found only in humans, whereas type A infects both people and animals, including birds, pigs, horses, whales and seals.
Bird Flu is caused by the H5N1 strain of virus, and is a type ‘A’ influenza. It usually affects chicken and other poultry birds such as ducks. Earlier, human infection was unheard of in Bird Flu. However, the virus spread from birds to humans in 1997, when six people in Hong Kong died of the disease. According to the data provided by World Health Organisation on February 1, 2008, approximately 225 people across the world have succumbed to the disease over the past five years.
It must be noted here that although the bird flu virus is highly contagious, it rarely causes any harm to the carrier. Thus, even while infected with an avian flu virus, the animal does not have “flu”. Typically, flu virus is adapted by one species of bird, and in turn spreads to another species. This happens more with the domestication of chickens and turkeys, as the avian flu virus acquired by one species rapidly mutates and infects the other species as well. This rapid spread can be stopped only by killing every domestic bird in the affected area.
The H5N1 Virus:
The H5N1 strain virus causes avian influenza. The highly pathogenic Influenza A virus subtype, H5N1 virus, is an emerging avian influenza virus that has been causing global concern as a potential pandemic threat. It is simply referred as “bird flu” or “avian influenza”.
Over the years, H5N1 has evolved into a flu virus strain that infects more species of birds than any previously known flu virus strain. This strain is deadlier than any previously known flu virus strain, and continues to evolve becoming both more widespread and more lethal.
H5N1 has killed millions of poultry Asia, Europe and Africa. Although human transmission of the virus is rare, the recent cases of human infections have left the health officials worried. Health experts are concerned that the co-existence of human flu viruses and avian flu viruses (especially H5N1) will provide an opportunity for genetic material to be exchanged between species-specific viruses, possibly creating a new virulent influenza strain that is easily transmissible and lethal for humans.
With bird flu engulfing almost the entire nation, where 26 people with suspected symptoms have been kept in isolation, the disease is posing a potential threat to the country. The virus is spreading like wildfire, and in order to prevent the disease from affecting human beings, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of how bird flu affects human beings, the symptoms of the disease, its treatment and prevention measures.
