H1N1 Vaccine Approved By United States Health Officials

For anyone that is fearful of contracting Swine Flu there is good news. United States health officials have approved the H1N1 vaccines and have said that there will be enough for everyone. Am I sold on the ideas that the vaccines works and there really will be enough for everyone? I'm not too sure.

The vaccine probably works mildly and does help prevent the contraction of Swine Flu, but I don't think it is the cure to stopping the spread of the virus. I mean even some of the best defenses can't stop everything. The Steelers can't stop all of the plays the Colts through at them, but they can sure stop most of them.

Now as for there being enough vaccines for all of America I'm not so sure there will be. However, at the same time I'm not sure there will need to be enough vaccines for all 300 million or so people in the United States. I don't think the government and drug manufacturers can supply that many people, but I doubt that everyone will want one, even though they will be free.

Either way the option of getting the vaccine is out there. Whether or not you actually go and get the vaccine is up to you.

Swine Flu Now a Pandemic

Welcome to the summer of the Swine Flu Pandemic. Just as schools close for the Summer Vacation, the World Health Organization (WHO) has officially declared Swine Influenza as a pandemic, the highest level possible.

When the Swine flu first began to spread in Mexico many were wondering, how long it would take until the swine flu became a pandemic, not if the swine flu would become a pandemic. As the Swine Flu spread globally many people became infected, yet the severity of the flu was very mild. Though the death toll has not been great, the speed at which the virus spread was incredible. This led to much deliberation by the WHO, and the eventual declaration of a pandemic.

Many seem to think this is too drastic of a step, but let us not forget, "better safe than sorry." Even though the virus is not a relatively deadly threat at the moment, WHO Director-General, Dr. Margaret Chan says, "it is prudent to anticipate a bleaker outcome." Think about it this way, if the virus does mutate, which almost all the major pandemics have done (Spanish Influenza, approximately 50 million dead), then at least we will be better prepared to deal with the illness. Additionally if we begin producing vaccinations we may be able to prevent the virus from infecting millions by the time it does become a significant problem.

While many members of the general public seem to find such a relatively harmless virus reaching pandemic levels, many experts think it has not happened soon enough. Dr. Thomas Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says, "This is not a surprise, for all intents and purposes, the United States government has been in phase 6 of the pandemic for some time now."

Now I would love to see the Swine Flu pass by so we can later say, "Man remember that Pandemic back in '09, what a joke," but only time will reveal the answers to the future of the Swine Influenza Pandemic.

Is the Swine Flu Pandemic On the Way?

With the current situation presented before us, many have been questioning whether or not Swine Flu will reach the pandemic level. With the recent spread of the virus through Japan at an alarming rate it seems to be only a matter of time.


Swine Influenza has traveled to 40 different countries, infecting a confirmed 9830 people causing 79 fatalities. What more does this virus have to do before the World Health Organization (WHO) declares a pandemic?


WHO describes that the virus needs certain characteristics to be considered a pandemic. The virus must be entirely new or has not circulated recently and widely in the human population. This creates an almost universal vulnerability to infection. Additionally, there must be a significant number of people that fall ill at the same time or very close to the same time, causing great social and economical disruption, and creating a great amount of stress on health services. The virus must also be very contagious adding to the spread and severity of the virus. Swine Influenza meets all the criteria that are required, yet one thing appears to be keeping the virus from achieving pandemic status, the mortality rate.


With the exception of Mexico, the number of deaths compared to the number of confirmed cases is almost laughable. The virus has just appeared to be causing mild illness in most, with underlying health issues present in those that have died as a result from the illness. This may be the reason as to why Swine Influenza is not yet a pandemic, yet don't get too comfortable.


The Spanish Influenza of 1918, which killed an estimated 40-50 million people (some suggest the actual number was double this), became most deadly after the first wave of the flu. Because we humans are extremely vulnerable to the Swine Flu, precautionary measures are being taken to prepare for the possibility of a second, more deadly wave of Swine Influenza.


Doctors and common sense alike tell you to stay healthy and safe. Eat a balanced diet, get exercise, wash your hands, and if suggested by your doctor take flu medication to lower the risk of catching swine flu.

With Swine Flu Spreading Many Ask How to Stop It?

-- As the Swine Flu spreads many wonder, "How do we stop it?"


Swine Influenza (Swine Flu/H1N1) is a respiratory disease of pigs that is caused by type A influenza viruses. Much like the regular seasonal flu, Swine flu can be spread by human-to-human transmission, such as sneezing or coughing.



The Swine flu has created a panic in many, but with more than 100 schools and over 3000 confirmed cases in the United States alone, and close to 5300 globally, the panic is very reasonable. Though the effects of Swine flu in the U.S have been minuscule in comparison to that of the effects in Mexico, many have to ask what will happen if it gets worse?

During the four major pandemics since 1889, each has begun with a mild spring wave, only to be followed a few months later by a devastating second wave. The most notable of these four pandemics was the Spanish flu of 1918 that killed an estimated 40-50 million people, possibly more.

Experts do however, agree that if a second, more deadly and infectious wave of the virus is still to come, the time it takes for it to arrive will hopefully allow for the development and production of a vaccine to combat the virus. There are still preventative measures through medicine and Non-pharmaceutical interventions.

Oseltamivir, or by its brand name Tamiflu is 1 of 2 antiviral drugs approved for use in the United States, that the Swine Influenza has been susceptible to. Online pharmacies, sell Tamiflu, which has been high in demand since the outbreak of Swine Flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends Tamiflu in the treatment and/or prevention of infection with Swine Influenza viruses.

There are additional ways to aid in the prevention of the transmission of the Swine Influenza. Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education says, "Use the same common sense and courtesy that you would use during winter flu season: Wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough and stay home if you are sick." Duncan could not be more right in saying this, but there are still some more ways to prevent the Swine Influenza. Make sure to get enough sleep, every night, eat a healthy, nutritious diet, and be physically active.

Pediatrician and medical historian Dr. Howard Markel of the University of Michigan said that, "History is not predictive science... But what I have found, studying epidemics, is that good planning and good relationships between local state and federal authorities, goes a long way." The United States, and the rest of the world, can now only wait, while the whole of humanity will have to chip in to help each other and prepare for what may come in the days, weeks, or months to follow.

Swine Influenza Spreads to the U.S

The Swine influenza as many know has become a hot topic recently with the widespread presence of the virus. Mexico has been hit hardest by Swine Flu, causing many to become ill and some to succumb to the virus, resulting in death. However, it is not only Mexico that is now feeling the effects of the disease that may evolve into a full-scale pandemic. The Swine flu has begun to make itself felt on American soil. A new enemy for the superpower to battle, the Swine influenza has infected a reported 64 people in the United States, as of April 28, 2009.

President Obama has asked congress for $1.5 billion to help battle the current and potential cases of the virus by stockpiling different medicines such as, Tamiflu (oseltamivir) an antiviral drug, and the hiring of personnel. Federal officials have declared a National Public Health Emergency, and even California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has declared a state of emergency due to the outbreak of the virus. However, officials would like to remind everyone not to panic and this is not yet considered a "crisis response."

Currently, there have been 45 confirmed cases in New York, 10 in California, 6 in Texas, 2 in Kansas, and 1 in Ohio. Though a reported 149 people have been killed in Mexico due to the virus, none have died in the United States. However, it is advised that you should begin any preventative measures you are able to do. The first and most important thing to remember is something you may have heard your mother tell (or if you didn't listen, yell at) you, remember to always, always, always wash your hands. That does not mean just turn the tap on run you hands under water for a couple of seconds. Take the time to thoroughly and properly wash your hands, use soap and warm water if at all possible. Get some sleep, its good for your overall health and not to mention your mood, nobody wants to be around someone who's cranky. Exercise, get some physical education in, grab a bat and play some ball. Eat healthy. A balanced diet can help boost your body's immune system.
