 CDC issues warning as swine flu strikes statesFederal and state health officials say a new swine flu strain recently sickened two preschool age children in Pennsylvania and Indiana, noting that the cases seem to be isolated.
Reports note that the latest outbreak is related to the H1N1 swine flu, which caused a global pandemic two years ago. The reports come as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) encourage Americans to get the flu vaccine as soon as possible. Although the flu season peaks across the nation around late January or early February, it does not hurt to get the shot earlier. “Today’s report is reassuring because it means that most parents are protecting their young children from diseases that can cause widespread and sometimes severe harm,” said Anne Schuchat, M.D., director of CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. We recommend vaccinations because they are one of the most effective, safest ways to keep children healthy.” This year’s flu vaccine protects against the same strains as last year’s, leading some people who received the vaccine last year to skip the flu vaccine this year. Physicians are not recommending this strategy because skipping the flu vaccine is not worth the risk for some people.

Re: CDC issues warning as swine flu strikes states The idiot. What good does it do to get the flu shot if it doesn't protect you from the strains we have this year, but only the strains from last year?

Re: CDC issues warning as swine flu strikes states
Cappy they take the ten most toughest flu,s and pick 3 each year for the vaccine..why it was in their minds to keep last year vaccine the same as this years is beyond me...unless they know then what they are saying and with all the mutations going on out there then the vaccine is not going to good for anything but toilet water _________________ In loving memory of my son Chris April 12 1985-June 19 2007 I don’t think it’s a matter of “is it coming.” I think that it’s already here, it’s just a matter of perspective.

Re: CDC issues warning as swine flu strikes states But, honestly,...there is one other thing the worthless vaccine will be good for. It'll keep the sheeple placated and quiet...and out of their hair. Oh, and here's another thing it'll be good for...increasing the size of their wallets.
See? Every dark cloud has its silver lining. You just have to search really hard for it sometimes. _________________ You say "trigger happy cowboy" as if it were a bad thing. No surrender; no retreat! If we fight, victory is not certain. If we don't fight defeat certainly is certain. |
