Pandemic Levels
![Page 6: Novel Influenza A (Pandemic) H1N1 Rachel Long, MT MSEd, CIC Public Health Epidemiologist Infection Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d385503460f94a11f7e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Past Pandemics due to Flu• 1918: 20- 100 million deaths world wide
– 500,000 to 675,000 in US– Came in waves
• 1957: 45 million infected, 70,000 died• 1968-69: 50 million infected, 33,000 died• 1976: swine flu event/500 cases recorded
![Page 7: Novel Influenza A (Pandemic) H1N1 Rachel Long, MT MSEd, CIC Public Health Epidemiologist Infection Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d385503460f94a11f7e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Differences in Seasonal and Pandemic Strain
• Age groups affected– Seasonal:
• >65 and <1 year of age• 90% of death in >65 year old group
– Pandemic H1N1: • young >5 <24 years of age• Death in adults under the age of 50 is most common• Severe disease in young otherwise healthy (ICU stays)
![Page 8: Novel Influenza A (Pandemic) H1N1 Rachel Long, MT MSEd, CIC Public Health Epidemiologist Infection Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d385503460f94a11f7e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

World Preparing for Second Wave• Monitoring in other parts of world now• Has not changed (mutated) at this time• H1N1 (Pandemic strain) is dominant • Clinical picture consistent across all countries
– Mild illness for most• Monitoring Drug Resistance
– Some found but not propagated at this time
![Page 11: Novel Influenza A (Pandemic) H1N1 Rachel Long, MT MSEd, CIC Public Health Epidemiologist Infection Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d385503460f94a11f7e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2 flu Seasons?• Regular Flu Season
• H1N1 Flu season• Could get here before vaccine• Shouldn’t be any more sever than the spring• Vaccination important for HCW

How does Flu Spread• By droplets: 3-6 feet
• Droplets are spread when:– Cough– Sneeze– Talk – Breathe

Spread of H1N1
• Infectious Period – For a confirmed case is 1 day prior to the cases illness onset to 7
days after onset• Close Contact
– Being within 3 feet of an ill person who is a suspected or confirmed case of H1N1 during the” infectious period”
• Clinical care givers: Use Standard Precautions for your protection as well as your patients when dealing with respiratory regardless of isolation
![Page 16: Novel Influenza A (Pandemic) H1N1 Rachel Long, MT MSEd, CIC Public Health Epidemiologist Infection Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d385503460f94a11f7e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Flu Vaccine
• Inactivated virus (dead)/lasts 1 year• Many will need a seasonal (1) and H1N1 (1)• Both this year are made exactly the same way• Works by stimulating the immune system to provide
protection
![Page 17: Novel Influenza A (Pandemic) H1N1 Rachel Long, MT MSEd, CIC Public Health Epidemiologist Infection Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d385503460f94a11f7e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
NationalH1N1 Vaccination Program
• H1N1 Vaccine Not Yet Available– Release date mid October 2009
• Initial Amount– 40 Million Doses During First Month
• Subsequent Weekly Production– 10 to 30 Million DosesMission will receive weekly allotments after initial
![Page 18: Novel Influenza A (Pandemic) H1N1 Rachel Long, MT MSEd, CIC Public Health Epidemiologist Infection Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d385503460f94a11f7e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
High Risk Groups For H1N1 Vaccine• Pregnant women
• Children under 4 years old
• Contacts of infants less than 6 months old
• Healthcare workers
• Those aged 25 to 64 with high risk conditions
![Page 19: Novel Influenza A (Pandemic) H1N1 Rachel Long, MT MSEd, CIC Public Health Epidemiologist Infection Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d385503460f94a11f7e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
H1N1 Vaccine Facts ( as of Sept 7, 2009)
• 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccines are well tolerated and induce a strong immune response in most healthy adults when administered in a single unadjuvanted 15-microgram dose
• Vaccine availability depends on several factors including manufacturing time and time needed to conduct clinical trials
• seasonal flu vaccine is not expected to protect against the 2009 H1N1 flu
• do not expect that there will be a shortage of 2009 H1N1 vaccine
• availability and demand can be unpredictable
*1976 swine flu virus and the 2009 H1N1 virus are different enough that its unlikely a person vaccinated in 1976 will have full protection from the 2009 H1N1

Declination StatementMission Hospitals has recommended that I receive influenza vaccination in order to protect myself and the
patients I serve.
The reason I am choosing not to take the influenza vaccine is:(Circle all that apply)
I have gotten the vaccine in the past and it made me sick.I received the vaccine elsewhere.Fear of Gillian Barre Syndrome.
I am allergic to eggs.I never get the flu.
I acknowledge that I am aware of the following facts:Influenza is a serious respiratory disease that kills as average of36,000 persons and hospitalizes more than 200,000 persons in theUnited States per year.Influenza vaccination is recommended for me and all other healthcare workers to prevent influenza diseases and its complications, including death.If I become infected with influenza, even when my symptoms are mild, I can spread severe illness to others.I understand that the strains of virus that cause influenza infection change almost every year, which is why a different influenza vaccine is
recommended each year.I cannot get the influenza disease from the influenza vaccine.The consequences of my refusing to be vaccinated could endanger my health and the health of those with whom I have contact, including:
Patients at Mission Hospitals My FamilyMy Co-workers My Community
Despite these facts, I am choosing to decline influenza vaccination right now.
Mission Hospital will require either vaccination or sign

Flu MythsSome common myths that are NOT true include:
Myth 1: "The flu shot will give you the flu.“
Myth 2: "The flu shot does not work.“
Myth 3: "The flu shot makes me sick.”
Myth 4: "I never get sick, so I don't need to get vaccinated

Fall 2009: What toExpect in the Workplace
Absenteeism
• H1N1 Illness is now in the general population– Up to 30% of Population (according to CDC)• 50 to 100 Million People will get
H1N1 Will Have a Greater Affect on Workforce Population• We are expecting a 10‐Fold Increase in
Absenteeism at the Pandemic’s Peak

If you are Sick with H1N1 flu• Stay home : • 24 hours after their fever is gone (without the use of fever-reducing medicine). A fever
is defined as having a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 37.8 degrees Celsius or greater.
• Get plenty of rest; • Drink clear fluids (such as water, broth, sports drinks, electrolyte beverages for infants)
to keep from getting dehydrated (loosing too much fluid);
• Cover coughs and sneezes; • Clean hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub often, especially after
using tissues and after coughing or sneezing into hands;
• Avoid close contact with others, including staying home from work or school; and
• Be watchful for emergency warning signs that might indicate you need to seek medical attention

Antiviral Uses• Treatment: timing critical first 48 hours of
symptoms.– Everyone does not need Tamiflu who has
Influenza…• hcw with direct patient care who is high risk • Ill person with co-morbitidies
• Prophylaxis: Prevention/Post Exposure timing (1-2 days)

Accuracy of Flu Screens• Accuracy Depends Upon Prevalence• The positive and negative predictive values vary considerably
depending upon the prevalence of influenza in the community.• False-positive (and true-negative) influenza test results are more
likely to occur when disease prevalence is low, which is generally at the beginning and end of the influenza season.
• False-negative (and true-positive) influenza test results are more likely to occur when disease prevalence is high, which is typically at the height of the influenza season.
• Viral Panels do not guarantee identification of H1N1• Flu Screens are only 50% sensitive for H1N1
