Parent Concerns Hinder National H1N1 Immunization Efforts

The C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health finds two-thirds of parents worry about the safety of the H1N1 vaccine while one-half are worried about H1N1 illness. Among parents worried more about the H1N1 vaccine, only 10 percent of their children have been vaccinated.

Chemists Discover How Antiviral Drugs Bind to and Block Flu Virus

A research team led by Mei Hong of Iowa State University and the Ames Laboratory has determined where an antiviral drug binds to and blocks a channel necessary for the flu virus to spread. The researchers also discovered that the drug spins in the channel, meaning there could be room for developing drugs that do a better job blocking the channel and stopping the flu. The findings are published in the Feb. 4 issue of the journal Nature.

Still Time to Get H1N1 Flu Vaccine, Urges Whitley, Leader of Infectious Diseases Society

"Immunization is the best defense we have to prevent the spread of H1N1 influenza in the months ahead," says Richard Whitley, the director of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and current president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). The reminder comes during National Influenza Vaccination Week, Jan. 10-16.

Childhood Vaccine Schedule Updated; UAB Infectious Disease Expert On The Panel

New schedule includes formal recommendations that children older than 6 months get the H1N1 influenza vaccine to guard against swine flu, and that combination vaccines are generally preferred over separate injections, says UAB's David Kimberlin, a member of the AAP's infectious disease committee.

It’s Not Too Late to Vaccinate against H1N1 and Seasonal Influenza!

It is not too late for those who have not been immunized against the novel H1N1 influenza A virus or seasonal influenza to protect themselves from a potentially serious and possibly fatal illness. “Flu is very unpredictable,” said Dr. Peter Wenger, an associate professor in the departments of Preventive Medicine & Community Health and Pediatrics at the UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School. Another wave of widespread flu illness could occur as the winter progresses, possibly even into March or April, he added. “The prudent course is to protect yourself and those around you, and the best way to do that is through vaccination,” he said. National Influenza Vaccination Week , which runs Jan. 10-16, 2010, is a great time to take action.

Early Lessons from the H1N1 Pandemic: Critical Illness in Children Unpredictable but Survivable

Lessons learned from the first 13 children at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center to become critically ill from the H1N1 virus show that although all patients survived, serious complications developed quickly, unpredictably, with great variations from patient to patient and with serious need for vigilant monitoring and quick treatment adjustments.
