The CDC recommends that all people between the ages of 6months and 24 yrs as well as seniors and those with compromised immune systems get immunized against the flu as well as receive the H1N1 (Swine Flu) vaccine.

So let me get this straight…usually, when a drug is developed that can cure things like, hmm….say certain types of cancers or can prevent the spread of cancers…testing goes on for years before people can even apply to try out the drug in a clinical trial.  In this case, drug companies have been rushing since spring, yup, a whole 6 months ago, to prepare a vaccine and have obviously not had the proper time to test the long term effects, but we should all run and get immunized.  I wonder how many of these drug company executives are actually getting their families immunized.

yes there is and to end this the CDC has issued a number of interim guidance documents in the past 24 hours. In addition, CDC’s Division of the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) is releasing one-quarter of its antiviral drugs, personal protective equipment, and respiratory protection devices to help states respond to the outbreak. Laboratory testing has found the swine influenza A (H1N1) virus susceptible to the prescription antiviral drugs oseltamivir and zanamivir.

Pandemic swine flu can infect cells deeper in the lungs than seasonal flu can, according to a new study published in Nature Biotechnology. The researchers, from Imperial College London, say this may explain why people infected with the pandemic strain of swine-origin H1N1 influenza are more likely to suffer more severe symptoms than those infected with the seasonal strain of H1N1.

May 13 (Bloomberg) — The World Health Organization is investigating a claim by an Australian researcher that the swine flu virus circling the globe may have been created as a result of human error.

Adrian Gibbs, 75, who collaborated on research that led to the development of Roche Holding AG’s Tamiflu drug, said in an interview that he intends to publish a report suggesting the new strain may have accidentally evolved in eggs scientists use to grow viruses and drugmakers use to make vaccines. Gibbs said he came to his conclusion as part of an effort to trace the virus’s origins by analyzing its genetic blueprint.
