It appears that a limited amount of vaccine will be available during October and November with some shipments arriving in December. The g Utah Department of Health is urg--in- all Utah health care providers who provide flu vaccines to ensure that high-ris- k patients receive vaccination according to the following priorities as recommended by CDC. First Priority to receive available flu vaccine are those individuals at highest risk of complications and death from influenza, which are the following: Nursing home or institutionalized patients. Individuals with chronic disease or immunosuppression ages 6 years and older. General population age 33 and months-6- 5 older. Second Priority to receive available flu vaccine in the following order: Health care workers with direct patient contact. Household contacts of chronically ill or immunosuppressed patients. Pregnant women in 2nd and 3rd trimester Third Priority After the first and second priority categories have been served, then the following groups should receive available flu vaccine in this order: 1. Critical community workers (police, fire, public works, teachers) 2. Population age 30 and older. 3. Foreign Travelers 4. General Work Force 3. General Population During fall 2MX), vaccination of people in the first priority group should proceed routinely during regular health care visits as vaccine becomes available. Health care providers, health organizations, commercial companies, and other organizations planning organized influenza vaccination campaigns for the general population are being asked to delay these campaigns until late November. Community level discussions are encouraged to develop vaccine contingency plans based on the above priority recommendations and available community vaccine supplies. Influenza vaccine should be offered to unvaccinated persons throughout the entire flu season to prevent missed opportunities and avoid wasting vaccine. The peak of influenza cases typically occurs in February (70 percent of the time), so vaccine received in December or January would be effective if this is a typical year. The Utah Department of Health further recommends that provide and the public keep in mind that influenza and pneumonia vaccine are recommended for irtany of the same people. Pneumonia vaccine is given year round and is usually given once in a lifetime. However, some people with certain chronic illnesses may reed a second dose five years after the first dose.
