Arizona Pandemic Influenza Response Plan: http://t.co/ztI6rMyj @uamedphx #panflu website: http://t.co/pO1P0lya It is likely that another influenza pandemic will occur at some time in the future. The State of Arizona has created a Pandemic Influenza Response Plan to promote an effective response throughout an influenza pandemic. While a pandemic response is primarily a public health response, many agencies, organizations, and private institutions will need to work in a coordinated and collaborative manner to ensure an effective overall response in Arizona.

New technology for pandemic flu vaccines: http://t.co/hqRhz3fn. #H1N1 #swineflu #pandemic #vaccine The recent H1N1 influenza pandemic illustrated the shortcomings of the vaccine manufacturing process. The A/California/07/2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza vaccine or A(H1N1)pdm09 was available late and in short supply as a result of delays in production caused by low yields and poor antigen stability. Recombinant technology offers the opportunity to shorten manufacturing time. A trivalent recombinant hemagglutinin (rHA) vaccine candidate for seasonal influenza produced using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) was shown to be as effective and safe as egg-derived trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) in human clinical studies. In this study, we describe the characterization of the A/California/07/2009 rHA protein and compare the H1N1 pandemic rHA to other seasonal rHA proteins. Link - Trackbacks

Faster Flu Vaccines May Be Possible, Study Suggests http://t.co/E5ss9T2s via @HealthyLiving #nurses #nursing #vaccine #health #healthcare By Ben Hirschler LONDON, Nov 25 (Reuters) - An experimental vaccine based on a molecule related to DNA protects animals against influenza and may one day offer an ultra-rapid way to develop new shots for humans, German scientists reported on Sunday. Assuming it also works in people, the new approach could allow commercial flu vaccines to be designed and manufactured in weeks rather than months. Making vaccines quickly is critical in fighting flu, particularly during a pandemic when health authorities and drugmakers are in a race to keep up with mutating strains of virus. Flu vaccines have traditionally been produced in chicken eggs, a tricky and lengthy process. More recently some firms have started using animal cell cultures, with Novartis on Nov. 20 winning the first U.S. approval for such a product. Both approaches, however, still involve virus cultivation, which can result in variable yields and production delays. The new vaccine developed by Lothar Stitz of Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut and colleagues uses a quicker approach. Link - Trackbacks

New #Vaccine May Give Lifelong Protection From #Flu http://t.co/NiCR2E7k #Vaccination #Health #Medicine #Disease Flu season has come early this year in parts of the northern hemisphere, and many people are scrambling to get their annual vaccination. That ritual may someday be history. In a first for any infectious disease, a vaccine against flu has been made out of messenger RNA (mRNA) – the genetic material that controls the production of proteins. Unlike its predecessors, the new vaccine may work for life, and it may be possible to manufacture it quickly enough to stop a pandemic. We become immune Link - Trackbacks
