Sebelius: Americans must get swine flu vaccination

Oct 7, 7:40 AM (ET)p {margin:12px 0px 0px 0px;}

WASHINGTON (AP) - Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius appealed anew Wednesday for widespread inoculation against a surging swine flu threat, calling the vaccine "safe and secure."

Sebelius unconditionally vouched for the safety of the vaccine, saying it "has been made exactly the same way seasonal vaccine has been made, year in and year out."

Appearing on morning news shows to step up the Obama administration's campaign for vaccinations, Sebelius said that "the adverse effects are minimal. ... We know it's safe and secure. ... This is definitely is a safe vaccine for people to get."

Sebelius was asked on CNN about surveys showing many parents were wary of getting their children vaccinated for fear the vaccine has been too hastily prepared and wasn't safe. She replied that it was targeted specifically at the H1N1 virus and was "right on target with an immune response."

The HHS secretary appeared as new cases of the flu, particularly among younger people, have been appearing recently. Some 600 people have died so far from the flu in this country, and the government has targeted roughly 90,000 sites to receive the swine flu vaccine by the end of this month.

"This flu is a younger person's flu," Sebelius said on NBC's "Today" show. "Kids have no immunity to the flu ... children are great carriers of bugs and viruses."

Because of the danger of easy transmission, especially in school and day-care settings, Sebelius said, "We strongly urge parents to take precautionary steps. Flu kills every year ... and we've got a great vaccine to deal with it."

"There's going to be plenty of vaccine," the secretary said. "It's rolling off the production lines right now ... ahead of schedule, and that's good news... By the end of October we should have a substantial amount available and begin to vaccinate a wider population of folks."

Said Sebelius: "There's no question the disease is out there, which is why today we're rolling out PSAs (public service announcements) ... to make sure people take steps to help prevent the spread of the disease, and in the meantime we will push the vaccine out as quickly as we get it off the production lines."

Appearing on CBS's "The Early Show," she said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the President's Advisory Committee on Immunizations have identified five target populations: pregnant women, health care workers, children with underlying health conditions ages 6 months to 24 years, older Americans with underlying health conditions.

"That's a lot of people," Sebelius said. "That's about half the population."

"By the end of this week," she added,"we'll begin to have injectable vaccine also available. We're dealing with five production companies. That's very good news. But the vaccine will become available as the lines clear up. So as soon as we have any vaccine available, we're pushing it out to 90,000 sites around the country. The early going is a little bumpy but we'll have a good supply by October." ---

Ahhh there isn't anything on God's green earth that's 100% safe.

I might get one or might not but that'll be because I'm worried about getting the flu or not worried enough to bother.

Hell I don't always wear my seat belt and I'd wager there are a lot more guys f*cked up that way.

Yea but Steve we all know not wearing your seatbelt can get you killed. These people have no clue of the effects of this.

The young lady blames a rare disorder, histonia, on getting a flu shot.

She started suffering significant symptoms of the neurological disease ten days after getting it.

I really look forward to hearing what our doctor has to say about this swine flu vaccine....

and I'm not gettin it til I find out more about it....

about it.

I keep wondering - is there a genuine (I assume there is?) reason for trace amounts of this thermisol and mercury whatever in it?

Is that what renders the virus to a level of "gets you only exposed to get antibodies, but not the actual flu...but

will not hurt people at all" ?

I don't know, but an explanation seems to be not forthcoming. I'd just like to know...

They should carry both versions.

The swine flu vaccine is safe. It's made almost entirely like the seasonal flu shots, and you will have the same small chance of minor side effects.

Vitamins are great. But they don't allow your body to develop an immune response to swine flu. Neither does getting a good night's sleep. That's why we test and develop vaccines. This one has proven effective in clinical studies.

If you don't want to get one, that's fine. But people in the target groups probably should.

but I am concerned about the safety of this vaccine.

Is there anyone who can explain why mercury and formaldehyde is in the brew?

Hoorta ?

Like I mentioned, when I was kid, my uncle died pretty quickly from the flu shot back then...

we need some more serious information, and there are too many rumors flying fast and furiously.

One of the medications used to treat Parkinson's, amantadine, is also used to treat Influenza A.

In and of itself, that may not be sufficient reason to get vaccinated. But it does suggest that the effects of getting the flu can be more serious than feeling crappy for a few days, even for previously healthy adults.

I did talk to my neighbor who is a nurse. He said that he took it just in case (let alone he would lose his $32/hr job at the Cleveland Clinic). I can sort of see the point he made. But this is an exception.

He mentioned he would never let his loved ones take the nasal variety.

Don't do it.

My wife is also a nurse. Healthcare workers are exposed to so many variations in the virus that it would be stupid for them not to get vaccinated. The cocktail they receive gives them the memory t-cells for the more common viruses of the season.

But everyone is right. It's the flu.

I certainly will not.

It's the flu for cripes sake. Worst case scenario I am sick for a few days.

This youtube H5N1 Spray Causes Spread of Pandemic Flu

Flu Mist a popular over the counter live flu vaccine has been found to contain two H5N1 DNA markers, these markers seem to have been sewn into the flu mist vaccine to ensure that H5N1 or another strain of Avian Flu goes pandemic.

This is going to cause major problems before long, it is imperative that people are warned about flu mist.

Wait,

They don't do the live virus thing anymore, right?

The live virus is what triggered some folks to GET the virus, and the reactions caused

some to get a lethal collapse/paralysis of their lungs.

I had an uncle die from that when I was a kid...

Nope, Cal. This is a live virus.

"Flu shots are made of killed influenza virus, while FluMist is a live but weakened strain. The nasal spray is only approved in the United States, and is made by the Maryland-based MedImmune, an AstraZeneca PLC subsidiary. Four other companies are making flu shots for the U.S."

Live Virus

Add that to the ability to quickly spread this from the nose quicker. Not good.

A lot of my co-workers are actually ridiculing me for not getting the free flu shot, and subsequent h1n1 shot thats coming here soon.

I take precautions, and I don't get sick - go figure.

Even if you get sick, it's the flu. You have more of a chance dying while driving on the way to work.

And to make something else clear, the WHO issued a level 6 what-the-f'ck-ever alert because of how it spread and NOT the severity of danger to the individual.

SARS anyone?

Especially, when taken through the nose. It produces an auto-immune response, the same response and type from the outbreak in 1918. After taking the virus it is spread easier through sneezing. That is why this was spread so easily then and will be now. Don't do it.

Look at any vaccine and any layman will tell you it is disgusting and dangerous. It takes years of training and education to work on vaccine research, not just any schmuck can do it.

Really? I'm putting a vaccine together right now. It's called washing hands your hands (I know that is a hard concept), eat right, take quality vitamins and get enough sleep.

This time around I am not a year old and have a choice. Getting a "vaccine" for the flu? Never had a "vaccine" for the flu and I'm still here. What happened the other years of your life when you got the flu. You get sick, stay in bed for 3 days and your back to work. After years of "research" would you still eat Saccharin, take Celebrex, Vioxx, Crestor, Elidel or Protopic? All passed by the FDA. I didn't think so.

p.s. oh and this strain of swine flu popped up this year and approved in October. Most other pills (yes even the ones outlawed) took years to develop and test.
