Influenza Is the Leading Cause of US Vaccine-Preventable Disease Deaths

Naming convention for influenza viruses� The antigenic type (e.g., A, B, C)� The host of origin (e.g., swine, equine, chicken, etc. For human-origin viruses, no host of origin designation is given.)� Geographical origin (e.g., Denver, Taiwan, etc.)� Strain number (e.g., 15, 7, etc.)� Year of isolation (e.g., 57, 2009, etc.)� For influenza A viruses, the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase antigen description in parentheses (e.g., (H1N1), (H5N1)

Annual reformulations of the influenza vaccine� Since 1999 WHO provides annual recommendations for influenza vaccine formulations� Northern Hemisphere� Southern Hemisphere
� Since 2012-13 recommendations included additional B strain for quadrivalent vaccine
•48% antigenically "like" the 2014-2015 influenza A (H3N2) vaccine •52% were antigenically different (drifted) from the H3N2 vaccine virus
•December 3, 2014, 16:00 ET (4:00PM ET)

� Surveillance data indicate that influenza A (H3N2) viruses have predominated � 85 influenza A (H3N2) viruses collected � 44 (52%) are significantly different (drifted) from
A/Texas/50/2012� Detected in late March 2014� Drifted H3N2 viruses are A/Switzerland/9715293/2013� Susceptible to both oseltamivir and zanamivir.
Adjusted vaccine effectiveness estimates for influenza seasons from 2005-2015
� ILI is defined as:� Fever (temperature of 100°F [37.8°C] or greater)� A cough and/or a sore throat � Without a KNOWN cause other than influenza.

Flu Vaccination
� All persons aged 6 months and older are recommended for annual vaccination� Exceptions� Children less then 6 months of age� Allergies to Flu Vaccine or ingredients
Types of flu shots� Trivalent:� Standard-dose trivalent shots: virus grown in eggs.
given a jet injector, for persons aged 18 through 64 years� Intradermal trivalent shot: Which is injected into the
skin approved for people 18 through 64 years of age.� High-dose trivalent shot, approved for people 65
and older.� Trivalent shot virus grown in cell culture, which is
approved for people 18 and older.� Recombinant trivalent shot that is egg-free,
approved for people 18 years and older.
Types of flu shots
� Quadrivalent� A quadrivalent flu shot.� A quadrivalent nasal spray vaccine, approved for
people 2 through 49 years of age (recommended preferentially for healthy children 2 years through 8 years old when immediately available and there are no contraindications or precautions)

Emergency Department Utilization During Outbreaks of Influenza� The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) recommends: � Close coordination between:� Emergency physicians� Health care facilities� Public health entities� Educate the public regarding appropriate physician
referrals and emergency department (ED) utilization for presumptive influenza.
Emergency Department Utilization During Outbreaks of Influenza� Ensure that emergency care and critical care providers are immunized against influenza. � Implement rapid screening and appropriate respiratory infection control interventions for all individuals arriving in the ED.
Emergency Department Utilization During Outbreaks of Influenza� End the practice of boarding admitted patients in the ED when no inpatient beds are available� Develop robust communication methods with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
•4/20/2015
•14
Emergency Department Utilization During Outbreaks of Influenza� Require hospitals and communities that are severely affected by influenza to postpone elective admissions and to develop strategies to increase surge capacities, including floor and isolation beds, until the crisis abates. � Engage emergency physician participation in city, state, and national public health response planning.
Emergency Department Utilization During Outbreaks of Influenza� Develop hospital-based and regional emergency response plans � Create regional command centers to monitor ambulance diversion status and local inpatient and ED capacity, and to coordinate regional ED response.
ED Evaluation
� Infection Control Measures� Isolation of patients� Wearing appropriate protective equipment
� Knowledge of current local prevalence of disease� Strategic management plans
