A new voting of Harris confirms findings of a recent report for the centers for the illness control and the prevention (CDC) that the vaccine if used to hinder flu this last winter was more less efficient of the one than vaccines of flu if they had used in preceding winters.
The three in preceding winters peoples who receive 33 vaccines from flu had percent, 43 percent and 24 percent more less probable to start flu of that the peoples who had not started shots of flu. This year, the person who received shots from flu was so probable just to start flu as those that had not started shots of flu. For the explained reasons below, these results alleviate probably the effectiveness of shots of flu. However, because the examinations lead for Interactive Harris(R) had used identical methodologies, the difference between this winter and different years is very significant.
These data come of Harris voting where 2,529 adults of United States had been examined in line between April 7 and 15, 2008 for Interactive Harris.
A reason because the comparison straight line of the incidence of flu of that they had made and had not received shots from flu is not a continuous measure of the effectiveness of the vaccine is that those that are more probable to start flu can also be more probable to start its shots of flu. The voting of Harris suggests that this happened. Entirely 72 percent of 65 aged peoples and excess - a group of high risk — had had shots of flu, and 40 percent of aged peoples 50-64 had made thus. Less than 30 percent of the adults under 50 thus. This could explain because the peoples on 50 were more less probable to start flu of that new peoples.
One another reason because these must be dealt with the care is that it is difficult so that patient and the doctors make one definitive diagnosis of flu, because he has other circumstances that can produce symptoms similar. For all these reasons are the trends best that the necessary percentages that are important.
Interesting others findings in this examination for Interactive Harris include:
- 15 percent of the 65 peoples had only aged 50-64 and and the the 23 excess had told to start flu more comparative percent or of the new groups of age;
- even so hispanics was so probable just (36%) how much the average so that all the Americans start shots of flu, they were much more probable to tell to be with flu (30%, compared 19% for whites and 14% for African-Americans.);
- gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals (GLBT) were so probable to start shots of flu how much heterosexuals, but was much more probable to tell that they had been with flu (33% compared 19%);
- only on the half of the peoples (53%) told to be with flu it visited a doctor who diagnosised flu. However, entirely 78 percent of that believe had been with flu say are certain that that was flu;
- the percent of Thirty-eight of all the adults think that they will start to one flu the gone off following winter. This compares with the 36 percent that had shots of flu for this last winter. That planning to order 89 shots of flu to include percent of that they had had shots last 10 winter and only percent of that not. Interesting, those that had been with flu are more probable to say that the shots of flu will start the following winter of that those that had not started flu.
A note in the data was liberated for the centers for the illness control (CDC)
The report of the CDC, published April in 17o, found that the viruses of flu prevalent this last winter had more turned for is to be different of that the viruses used themselves in the vaccine. The report found that the used vaccine was one in such a way efficient one in hindering the virus it flu (H3N2), a virus more virulent, but was completely inefficacious of meeting to the virus of influenza B that circulated this last winter.
Methodology
This voting of Harris(R) was lead in line inside of the United States between April 7 and 15, 2008, between 2.529 adults (aged 18 and excess) of who 911 started to one flu gone off before the winter of 2007/2008. The figures for the income of the age, the sex, the race, the instruction, the e region house had been become more weighed where necessary to bring them in the line with its real ratio in the population. To become heavier of the counting of propensity was used also to adjust for propensity of respondents ‘ to be in line. Because the sample is based in that they had agreed to participate in the interactive panel of Harris, no estimate of the theoretical error of sampling can be calculated. The tables of a full methodology and the data will be made available in http://www.harrisinteractive.com.

The research presented in the annual meeting of the societies academic pediatric (PAS) sample that for vaccinations starting of flu in August — before the start of the typical station of vaccination of flu — the suppliers of healthcare could reach 10,7 million children add when these children are no longer office of the doctor. The potential impact of vaccination in advance underscored for one another study that found that than 20 less percent of children school-aged between five and 18 years of age vaccinated in offices of its pediatricians ‘ during the last station of influenza. This study it also showed that, in the average, only approximately 40 percent of those recommended children to receive two doses from the vaccine of influenza had really received as the dose.
In February, the centers for the illness control and the advisory committee of the prevention (CDC) in the practical ones of immunization (ACIP) had voted to expand recommendations of vaccination of flu to include all the children six months the 18 years of age. Previously, the recommendations were for vaccination of the children of six months the 59 months of the age. Guidelines new million approximately adds to 30 children to the population pediatric recommended vaccinated annually of meeting influenza.
“MedImmune is committed to make all that can support the expanded recommendations ACIP’s of vaccination of influenza and to work for our common objective for vaccinate more children of meeting to flu each year,” it said John Trizzino, vice-president, vaccines. “the data had presented in the prominence of the PAS meeting the necessity to use each possible chance to improve taxes and conformity of vaccination, including children vaccinating when they visit its suppliers of healthcare for check-ups of the one for backwards–school and exhibit examinations. We are focused in FluMist entregando(R) (vaccine of the virus of influenza alive, intranasal) in marketplace this year that starts in August.”
One vaccination more in advance of influenza could reach 11 almost million more children in offices of the supplier
To in advance examine the potential impact of vaccination of influenza, the investigators of MedImmune had analyzed the examination of medical panel of the expenditure (MEPS), a financed federal examination of the families, medical individuals, and suppliers that it collected given in the services of health used by American. They had compared the number of the children who had had to the little one visit of the supplier of healthcare between October 1 and December 31 (the traditional period of vaccination of influenza) to the number of the children who had had to little one visits between August 1 and December 31. The analysis found that extending the station of vaccination of flu in August, the 6,6 million children you add would have the chance of vaccination during a good visit and 10,7 million children would have a chance to start a vaccine of flu during an already-existing visit of the supplier (good or sick).
The taxes of vaccination of flu in offices of pediatrician remain low
One another study, presented for Praful U. Bhatt, M.D. of haven of the closing, Par, had evaluated the use of vaccination of influenza in offices of pediatricians ‘. The investigators had national selected practical a representative sample of 44 pediatric in advance of station 2007-2008 of influenza. In these offices, 37 the average taxes of vaccination of influenza were percent in olds of six the 23 months (1), 24 percent in olds of 24 the 59 months, 19 percent in five eight olds of the year, and 12 percent in olds of nine the 17 years with February 29, 2008.
Additionally, the study it looked at conformity with the recommendation that the children new of nine years of age that vaccinated previously do not receive two doses from the vaccine of influenza to the little four weeks distant. The taxes of conformity to receive as the dose were 55 percent (the six 23 months) (1), 43 percent (the 24 59 months) and 25 percent (the five eight years of age).
The study it also found that the taxes of vaccination and conformity more were raised in the practical ones that they had managed the vaccine of influenza for more months during the station of vaccination (that starts more early and that finishes later).
On FluMist
FluMist is an attenuated vaccine alive of the virus of influenza indicated for immunization active of the individuals the two 49 years of age of meeting to the illness of influenza caused by subtypes of the virus of influenza and to type B contained in the vaccine.
FluMist is contraindicated in the individuals with history of hypersensitivity to eggs, to proteins of the egg, gentamicin, gelatin or the arginine or with preceding reactions life-threatening to vaccinations of influenza, and in the children and adolescents that they receive the aspirin concomitant or they quecontm the therapy.
It does not manage FluMist to the children more less than two years of age due to an increased risk of hospitalization and of wheezing this had been observed in clinical experimentations. FluMist does not have to be managed to the individual with asthma and the children more less five year of age with wheezing recurrent unless the potential benefit to compensate the potential risk. It does not manage FluMist to the individuals with asthma severe or wheezing active.
If syndrome of Guillain-guillain-Barre to occur with vaccination previous of influenza or if an individual will be immunocompromised, the decision to give FluMist must be based on the careful consideration of the benefits and the potential risks. FluMist does not have to be managed to the individuals with underlying medical circumstances that predisposing the savage-type complications of the infection of influenza unless the potential benefit to compensate the potential risk. FluMist must be given to a woman pregnant if only needed clearly.
The majority of common adverse reactions (occurring in 10 for one hundred or dos individuals that receives FluMist and in a tax ao less five for one hundred more raised do that naqueles that they receive placebo) is nasal nose runny or congestion receiving us of all the ages, to fever more than 100 degrees of F nas children the two six years of age, and throat sore adult us.
FluMist cannot protect all the individuals that receive the vaccine. FluMist is for the intranasal administration only.

Influenza is currently a serious interest for governments and organizations of the health around the world. The concern is the potential for tensions highly virulent of flu of the bird, such as H5N1, to develop the ability of infect fcilmente human beings. The new drugs and the vaccines to stop the propagation of the virus are badly needed. Now one of the used tactics for the virus of influenza to make examination on of the machinery of stacks infected estve uncovered placed by structural biologists in the European laboratory of molecular biology (EMBL) and in the common unit of the interaction of Anfitrio-Pilha of the EMBL virus, of the university Joseph Fourier and the national center for the scientific research (CNRS), in Grenoble, France. In the current introduction of the structural and molecular biology of the nature they publish an image high-resolution of a domain key of the protein whose the function is to allow that the virus multiplies hijacking the machinery of the production of the protein of the stack of host. Findings opens the way for the project of new drugs to fight pandemics future of influenza.
In top of the infection the virus of influenza starts to multiply in the stacks of its host. A protein that is crucial in this process is polymerase viral - enzyme that copa its material genetic and the aid to produce more virus. A component of polymerase, called PB2, plays a paper key in stealing a Tag important of molecules of the RNA of the stack of host to direct the machinery of the production of the protein for the viral protein synthesis. The investigators of the groups of Stephen Cusack and hart of Darren in EMBL Grenoble had identified responsible domain PB2 to bind to the Tag, crystals produced of it and had examined to it with powerful beams of ray X of the europia easiness of the radiation of synchrotron (ESRF).
the “viruses are masters of cunning when it comes hijacking to function normal of the stack of host. The virus of influenza steals a password of the RNAs messenger of the host, the molecules that load the instructions for the production of the protein, and uses to gain it the access to the machinery protein-making of the stack for its proper purposes, “says Cusack.
The password is a short extra part of RNA, a modified base of the called RNA ‘ a drain plug ‘, that it must be current in the start of all the RNAs messenger (mRNAs) to direct the machinery of the protein-synthesis of the stack to the point to start. Polymerase viral binds to mRNA of the stack of host through its drain plug, it cuts the drain plug it are and adds it the start to it of its proper mRNA - a known process as ‘ the drain plug that arrebata ‘. MRNA viral covered can then be recognized for the machinery of the stack of host allowing that the proteins viral are made, to the cost of proteins of the stack of host.
The image that atomic of the definition the EMBL scientists had generated of a limit of domain PB2 to a drain plug discloses the first time for the amino acid individual responsible to recognize this special structure. The central interaction is a sandwich with the two amino acid PB2 that piles up one or another side of the drain plug. Whilst this mechanism of recognition is similar to other proteins drain plug-binding, its structural details is distinct. The collaborators in the National Center of Biotechnology in Madrid had shown that the disruption of place PB2 drain plug-binding hinders that the virus it influenza replicating.
“these findings suggest that place PB2 drain plug-binding is a very promising target for drugs of anti-anti-influenza,” the hart says. “our new structural introspections will help us to project mimics of the drain plug that would inhibit replication viral and daqui to reduce the propagation of the virus and the severity of the infection.”

The high costs to hospitalize new children for influenza cram one burden economic significant in the United States, underscoring the importance of preventive shots of flu for the children and the peoples with who has the regular contact, the research lead for the medical center of the hospital of the children of Cincinnati and had in accordance with presented May 4 in the annual meeting of the society academic pediatric in Honolulu, Hava.
After to have analyzed given in three cities of United States on the course of three stations of flu (2003-2006), the 90 investigators had found that percent of hospitalizations of the high-cost for children had been on to influenza, or flu with an co-infection of the interval respiratory. The children with the visits of the high-cost were more probable to have the circumstances high-risk, emfatizando the importance to have these children immunized, said Gerry Fairbrother, Ph.D., an investigator in the center for the clinical effectiveness and politics of the care of health in children of Cincinnati and the senior author of the study.
Contributing the majority to hospitalizations of the high-cost they were sojourns in the unit of care intensive (ICU), with 65 percent of the visits of the high-cost that require ICU sojourns. The percent of Fifty-sings to sleep of the children hospitalized for flu that it had also the high risk conditions time expense in the ICU, compared the 23 percent of the children without conditions high-risk.
“our study emfatiza the importance to make sure itself of that the children and the peoples who are in the regular contact with immunized for flu. Are vital to protect its health and to prevent the high costs of hospitalizations that are preventable,” said Mary Staat, M.D., Ph.D., a doctor and investigator in the division of illnesses infectious in children of Cincinnati and co-author of the study.
In the study, the investigators had identified children under the age of 5 years that was hospitalized with influenza between 2003 and 2006. The identification came with active the acute programs respiratory population-based of surveillance in the county of Hamilton, the Ohio, the county of Monroe, the N.Y., and the county of Davidson, Tenn. The medical costs right-handers for visits of the hospital had been gotten through the respective databases of the accounting. In the cases the children had where fallen between the 10 percent superior for the cost of hospitalization, the investigators had reviewed registers medical to identify the factors that dirigem those costs and to determine if they were related to influenza. The investigators had identified 199 flu-related hospitalizations that involve children with an average age of 12 months.
Beyond to the children Cincinnati, the study it included investigators of the school of the medicine, university of Vanderbilt, Nashville, Tenn.; School of the medicine and dentistry, university of Rochester, Rochester, N.Y., and the new vaccine net of surveillance. The study it was financed by the centers of United States for the control and the prevention of illness.
The PAS meeting is the international meeting the greater focused in the research in the child health. It is sponsored by academy American of pediatrics, for the American society pediatric, the society for the research pediatric, and for the association pediatric ambulatory.
The medical center of the hospital of the children of Cincinnati, one of the main institutions of research pediatric in the nation, is dedicated to change the result for children during the whole world. Rank of the children of Cincinnati in second enters all the institutions pediatric in the United States in the concessions of the national justinian codes of the health. It has a tradition established of excellence of the research, with discoveries including the verbal vaccine of the polio of Sabin, the preparation of surfactant that it conserves the lives of the thousands of premature infants each year, and a vaccine of rotavirus that conserves the lives of the hundreds of the thousands of the infants around the world each year. The strategical directions of the chain include the translation of the basic research of the laboratory in the development of therapeutics of the novel for the treatment of the illness, and to promote the development of the personalized medicine and predictive.

care of health of 3M, a leader in the prevention of the infection for more than 30 years, has announces plants to introduce the fast™ test 3M of flu A+B of the detection, one assay sensible projected to deliver resulted electronic reliable, qualitative and objectives in 15 minutes.
It waited to be available before station 2008-2009 of flu, the fast test of flu of the detection delivers quickly resulted objective through a self-chronometered reader easy-to-uses. Requiring less than three minutes of the time of the preparation, the positive or negative results are detected, differentiated as influenza or the B and indicated by the automatized fast™ reader of the detection of 3M. The fluorescent aids of the reader eliminate the errors of the interpretation of the user, that can lead to false the negative or false results positive.
Additionally, the fast reader of the detection reads and stores resulted of test that gives to the laboratory technician more flexibility the time and management of the test eliminating the critical test read the period of time required for all the current tests of flu. Its ability to export the data more you add reduces the potential to tell to the error eliminating the necessity for manual transference of patient results.
In accordance with the centers for the illness control, to test fast of influenza allow a more appropriate management of the infection, including to reduce the improper use of antibiotics, being reduced the propagation of the infection inside of the environment of the care of health and more quickly to follow and of reporting.(1, 2)
“we are satisfied to launch the fast™ test 3M of flu A+B of the detection as our first product of United States in the platform 3M doctor of the diagnosis,” we said Jeff Hillins, manager of global business of the medical diagnosis, medical division of 3M. of “the ability this test to supply resulted objective and its ability to read and to store aids of the data dirigem it real points of pain for laboratories of the hospital. As an illness highly contagious, quickly and the accurate diagnosis is essential to limit the propagation of influenza, and can reduce costs and finally improve resulted patient in the adjustment of the care of health.”
The fast test of flu of the detection is the first test of diagnosis of 3M to be launched after an agreement 2006 between 3M and of Biomedical Reply Corporation to develop and commercialize the disgnostic products that whiten the hospital and illnesses infectious acquired community using the biomedical technology of the reply.
“the fast™ test 3M of flu A+B of the detection is an addition key to the number of growth of solutions that trusted of the prevention of the infection we offer the community of the care of health,” commented mandril Kummeth, vice-president and general manager, medical division of 3M. “this is the first one of diverse solutions that disgnostic fast we planeamos to bring to marketplace that they help the hospitals to improve resulted patient, to reduce costs and to reduce the impact of resistant microbes.”
Economic health and consequences of flu
Influenza is a viral infection respiratory highly contagious and potential life-threatening that it affects millions of the Americans annually. Each year, 5 the 20 percent of the population of United States become sick with “flu”.(3) flu can more than lead to the severe complications and results in 200,000 hospitalizations and approximately 36,000 deaths that each year.(4) influenza acquired in the results of the hospital in approximately in $3,800 loads extra for the patient, in accordance with one study.(5)

The station of colds and flu is almost here, and has some simple ways to help to prevent to start sick this winter.
The president of LOVES, Dr. Rosanna Capolingua, said that the most efficient way to help to protect of meeting to stop a cold nasty or flu is good personal hygiene.
“the superior infections and influenza of the interval respiratory are transferred by small drops e these are transferred readily as loaded air when somebody coughs or sneezes. If you it will be able, attempt to prevent to be in the line of the fire, “Dr. said Capolingua.
“other tips good to prevent flu must keep the adjustment and healthful, it does not smoke, it does not start the abundance of sleep and the exercise, and it does not eat a balanced diet.
“to remain healthful and not to start functioned for low they will help.”
The vaccines of flu are readily available and free for all on the aboriginal age of 65 years and islanders and Towers of strait on or between 15 and 49 50 years old who is medicamente in the risk.
For each another one, its doctor will recommend to have it a vaccine of flu if you it will be in the risk.
The vaccine of Pneumococcal is also available to protect of meeting to the cause most common of bacterial infections and pneumonia of the interval respiratory. Its doctor asks.
“if you have stopped already a cold or one flu, covering its mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough aids to reduce transference,” Dr. said Capolingua.
“it makes use of fabrics or used handkerchiefs, and to wash its hands is important. It tries to prevent to share of personal articles, cleans all the surfaces that you to contaminate when you come in the contact, and to prevent close the contact with the peoples.
“if you are with flu, start the abundance of the rest, drink lots of the liquids, paracetamol of the appropriate taking if, and the sojourn home.
the “antibiotics will not help with a viral infection, but if you it will not be starting better in a pair of the days, see its doctor please,” said.
“well-taken care of special he must always be taken by the children, the aged people, and that more susceptible due to illness or to the chronic circumstances or debilitating.”
The Dr. Capolingua warned that cough and the cold medicines must never be given to the aged new children under two years without the advice of a doctor.

Novavax, Incorporation (Nasdaq: NVAX) said that it received resulted positive from a study of immunogenicity in the ferrets inoculated with the seasonal candidate trivalent of the vaccine of influenza of the company. These findings will allow Novavax to finish its new application investigational of planning of the drug (”IND”) to support the initiation of a clinical experimentation of phase II whitened to start in the third room of this year.
In the study, the ferrets had been inoculated with the seasonal vaccine trivalent of influenza of the company that will count a three mixture virus-as particles (VLPs) that they represent tensions of virus of H3N1, H1N1, and B. The vaccine induces protective levels of antibody of meeting to each one of the three tensions represented in the vaccine in 100% of the ferrets that receive a dose from 15 mcg/strain that it is the dose standard for vaccines currently permitted of split and of influenza of subunit. The vaccine candidate also induces titers protective of antibody of meeting to a tension drifted in approximately 50% of the inoculated ferrets. A separate study of toxicology lead in the rabbits he showed that the vaccine trivalent estve tolerated with nenhuns unexpected side effects well. The studies of the ferret and toxicology had been lead in the contribution with Dr. Ted Ross in the university of the center of Pittsburgh for the vaccine research and construct a bridge on laboratories, Gaithersburg, Maryland, respectively.
the programs of influenza of “Novavax ‘ are being moved onward rpidamente as of planning,” the medical officer of the Dr. said main Currency of a Heaton cent, of the Novavax ‘ and the VP of the development. “beyond to the positive results our vaccine candidate of influenza seasonal announced today, the study dose-varying of our vaccine pandemic of flu H5N1 is being registered as projected based in the favorable analyses of the security and of immunogenicity of the meantime it lead last December. We planeamos to have the final doses selected for the behind development of the period of training for the vaccine programs of flu pandemic and seasonal for the second half of this year, “Dr. said Heaton.
“these results support the development on-going of our seasonal vaccine trivalent of influenza and keep them in the track to start experimentations human beings of this vaccine candidate in the third room of 2008,” said Rahul Singhvi, president and main executive officer of Novavax, Inc.. “we will have two vaccines in the development of phase II for the second half of this year.”
The company is also preparing its seasonal vaccine candidate of VLP for human studies head-to-head of meeting to a vaccine introduzda in the market of flu that 2008 room starts in the room. Virus-as particles they had been created for each one of the three vaccine tensions of flu new recommended by the centers for the control of illness and the prevention (”CDC”) for station 2008-2009 upcoming. Historicamente, is not common so that the CDC recommends to change all the three tensions of the seasonal vaccine of influenza, however, uniform with this recommendation, Novavax could construct the VLPs to correspond inside of six weeks of the announcement. We believe that the ability of Novavax to answer quickly to the emergent tensions of flu that VLP proprietor uses its technology recombinant could significantly differentiate Novavax of other company of the vaccine of flu.
On Novavax
Novavax, Incorporation is a clinical company of biotechnology of the period of training, creating vaccines of the novel to direct it a wide scale of the advanced proprietor using worldwide of the illnesses infectious virus-as the technology of the particle (VLP). The company produces these vaccines highly potent, recombinant based VLP that uses a new solution, efficient of manufacturing.

Pharmacists is asked for to recommend to all the customers who ask for cough of OTC all and cold product that these medicines do not have less to be used in the infants and the children than 2 years of age.
It had a number of overseas reports of serious adverse effect between the given infants and children cough non-prescription and cold medicines. The root cause of misadventure in U.S.A. with the use of cough and cold medicines in the children better seems to be missed job, error of medication, overdose accidental, accidental exposition and simultaneous use of multiple products, that consequences of the use in accordance with the directions.
These events had lead to the revisions of the security and efficacy of the use in the children of the medicines that contain some of the following active ingredients:
- antihistamines: maleate of brompheniramine, maleate of chlorpheniramine and hydrochloride of diphenhydramine
- the antitssicos: hydrobromide and pholcodine of dextromethorphan

The recent announcements had also been made by the food of And U. and the administration of the drug (FDA) and the agency regulatory of the BRITISH products of the medicines and Healthcare (MHRA) these cough and cold medicines must for much time more not be used to more less deal with children than 2 years age.
Diverse revisions of the evidence indicate more less that it has a lack of efficacy, and made together examination with the risks in the use of these products in the children than 2 years of age, do not have no benefit of total health.
Consequently, the TGA considers that the products that contain these ingredients do not have less to be managed the children than 2 years of age.
The TGA is recommending sponsors that the vendidas labels of OTC cough and cold medicines in Australia must include the advice “are not used in the children under 2 years of age”.

The schools of closing in the one event flu pandemic could delay the propagation of the virus and hinder up to one in seven cases, in accordance with a new study published today in the natureit periodical.
The closing of the school is the non-non-pharmaceutical option of the politics that the organizations and the governments of the health more frequent consider to control the future propagation of one flu pandemic, but had had previously little evidence on its potential effectiveness.
The investigators of the MRC are centered for the analysis of outbreak and shape in the imperial college London, working with the colleagues in France, used computer that it shapes to explore as the closing of the school would affect the propagation of a virus avian pandemic theoretician of flu H5N1 that has mutated to pass between human beings. Extrapolated of the data collected for GPs Frenchman, showing as the holidays of the school modifies the tests standards of the transmission of influenza in France.
The new study sample that to close below schools for a period drawn out in the one event pandemic could hinder up to one in seven cases.
It also educates closings it would delay and smooth pandemic, reducing the sick numbers that become na week worst do outbreak for up to 40%. The investigators suggest that this could be important in reducing pressures in services of healthcare during this time in way that the hospitals and the surgeries of the GP can more better deal.
However, the investigators warn those schools of closing for a drawn out period would be a very expensive measure, particularly because of its impact in parents working. To remove childcare that the schools supply could also affect the propagation of the virus, in the ways that are difficult of shape using existing information.
For the example, the parents had been able to share of childcare with if or placing its children with minder of the child, in way that the children mixes property and spread the virus between them, much because in one he has adjusted of the school. Beyond, the number of the available professionals of healthcare to the care for those with the virus could fall if some needed to remain home to look at its children after.
Dr. Simon Cauchemez, one of the authors of the study of the center of MRC for the analysis of outbreak and of shape in the imperial college London, said: “our research sample that the closings of the school could be a useful measure in the terms to delay the propagation of one flu pandemic. However, its effectiveness very very would depend on what other measures, as vaccination or drugs antiviral, had been ece of fishes in the place also.”
Professor Neil Ferguson, one another author of the study of the center of MRC for the analysis of outbreak and of shape in the imperial college London, added: “to close schools it is not for much time an option that you can make examination lightly, because she has great a economic and social impact, and the extension the one that would be bat- in the effect in the transmission there is hard to predict.
“exactly that the children would not be in the school, he mixes property with other children and adults in the community and had spread the virus through this contact. We also think that it is probable that the parents would need to plan the new arrangements of childcare in way that could continue working, meaning that they would be adjusting above the equivalent the small schools where the virus could fcilmente be transmitted, “added professor Ferguson.
The investigators had after reached its conclusions to have analyzed the collected data of surveillance since 1984 for 1.200 GPs in France, to see as the tax of the transmission of influenza is reduced during the holidays of the school of country. These data had shown that the holidays lead to a reduction 20-29% in the tax where influenza is transmitted the children, but that they do not have no detectable effect in the tests standards of the contact of the adults. The French data had also disclosed that the children were responsible for around 46% of all the infections.
The investigators extrapolated then of this to explore as the drawn out closing of the school could affect the transmission in the one event pandemic of H5N1 mutated in a country as France.
In the gift, tension H5N1 of influenza is transmitted to the peoples for birds and the transmission person-to-person is very rare. However, the virus is thus lethal that will be itself to mutate and if to become more transmissible, as in the new model of the investigators, the consequences of one pandemic global could be disastrous.
