With flu beginning to arrive, federal health authorities Monday assured Americans that its perfectly OK to get immunized after Thanksgiving because the season usually doesnt peak until later in the winter.
The season for vaccination doesnt end at Thanksgiving, said Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She and other national public health leaders spoke Monday in a national telephone media briefing. The CDC announced a new National Influenza Vaccination Week, to be held Nov. 27 through Dec. 4, to encourage vaccination.
So far, most states, including Michigan, have no or few flu cases. North Carolina has the most cases, so-called regional activity with a small number of cases around the state, followed by Louisiana and Florida, with local activity in some cities only. Calling the flu unpredictable, Gerberding said, We cant say how fast it will evolve or where it will occur next.
Some 77 million doses, of as many as 115 million to be manufactured, will be distributed by the end of November, Gerberding said. She acknowledged there have been delays getting supplies to some providers, notably physicians. The agency is working to improve distribution so all providers get some vaccine early in the season in years ahead.
Only 9 million of this years doses are free of mercury, a preservative. But the risk of the flu far outweighs any theoretical risk from the vaccine, http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061113/NEWS99/61113013

在哪里可以注射流感疫苗？
随着流感开始出现，联邦健康当局星期一向国人保证：在感恩节后注射流感疫苗也是完全可以的，因为通常直到末冬才会出现流感高峰。
The season for vaccination doesn t end at Thanksgiving, said Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She and other national public health leaders spoke Monday in a national telephone media briefing. The CDC announced a new National Influenza Vaccination Week, to be held Nov. 27 through Dec. 4, to encourage vaccination.
“疫苗注射不会在感恩节就结束。”联邦疾控中心主任Julie Gerberding博士如是说。她和其它国家公共卫生当局的领导人员于星期一的全国电话简会上都这样说。疾控中心把国家流感疫苗周新定为11月27日到12月4日，鼓励公众接种疫苗。
So far, most states, including Michigan, have no or few flu cases. North Carolina has the most cases, so-called regional activity with a small number of cases around the state, followed by Louisiana and Florida, with local activity in some cities only. Calling the flu unpredictable, Gerberding said, We can t say how fast it will evolve or where it will occur next.
迄今为止，包括密歇根州在内的大多数州没有或者只有少数流感病例。大多数病例都出现在北卡罗莱纳州，该州附近伴有零星的病例，出现所谓的区域性活动。接着路易斯安娜州和佛罗里达州的一些城市出现了局部性活动。Gerberding认为流感是不可预测的，她说：“我们不敢说它会进展多快，也不敢说下一个出现流感的地方是哪里。”
Some 77 million doses, of as many as 115 million to be manufactured, will be distributed by the end of November, Gerberding said. She acknowledged there have been delays getting supplies to some providers, notably physicians. The agency is working to improve distribution so all providers get some vaccine early in the season in years ahead.
Gerberding说，有1.15亿支疫苗将会投产，其中7700万支会在11月底分配到各州。她承认对某些疫苗提供者，特别是医生的供应有些延迟。供销商正在改善分配，让所有的疫苗提供者在明年流感季节前都得到一些疫苗。
