Aug 8, 2006 (CIDRAP News) – Two national groups of infectious disease experts urged the White House to make the development of vaccines the most important element in the nation’s pandemic influenza plan.In a press release today, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) detailed the letter they sent to Frances Townsend, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, on Aug 4 responding to the White House’s National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza, released in May.The government’s 228-page pandemic plan explains the steps that federal agencies will take in the event of a pandemic. It spells out 300 government responses to a pandemic and outlines what pandemic planning measures are expected from other groups (see May 3 CIDRAP News article).The pandemic plan states that vaccines are the best way to contain a pandemic and that the government is attempting to stockpile enough existing, or prepandemic, H5N1 vaccine to immunize 20 million people and create a vaccine-manufacturing surge capacity to make enough pandemic vaccine for all Americans within 6 months of a pandemic’s start. The government’s current supply is only a few million doses.However, the IDSA and SHEA say a more comprehensive, international approach is needed for vaccine development, and the United States should lead international efforts to develop the new vaccines. “We must do the legwork now so that we can produce and deploy these vaccines were we need them when a pandemic hits,” said Martin J. Blaser, MD, president of the IDSA.New vaccine science and delivery approaches are urgently needed, and vaccine makers must be involved in the process, the two groups said. “There is a need for rapid, transparent, and extensive exchange of scientific information among experts, and a novel systematic approach is needed to speed vaccine development,” the groups wrote in their comments to the White House. Strong working relationships with other countries—particularly those in Southeast Asia—will be the keys to detecting novel viruses early enough to develop effective vaccines.In addressing other parts of the federal pandemic plan, the societies lauded the White House for clearly designating the Department of Health and Human Services as the lead medical responder and the Department of Homeland Security as the operation and resource coordinator.”But far more work remains to be done at the federal, local, and state levels so that there is clarity about who is in charge of what. When everyone knows their battle stations, things go better,” said Blaser.The two societies also called for:Federal guidance on a consistent, unified approach to pandemic preparedness for local authoritiesRegular drills to ensure that pandemic plans workAn expert panel convened by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to scientifically evaluate the effectiveness of existing community mitigation modelsMore funding for state, local, and global pandemic planning effortsSee also:National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza: Implementation Planhttp://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/homeland/pandemic-influenza-implementation.htmlMay 3 CIDRAP News article “New US pandemic plan stresses local self-reliance”
Sep 1, 2009 (CIDRAP News) – President Barack Obama warned today that a larger wave of novel H1N1 influenza is likely this fall and called on all Americans to prepare for it.”I don’t want anybody to be alarmed, but I do want everybody to be prepared,” Obama said in a Rose Garden statement after a meeting with several cabinet secretaries to discuss the pandemic.In a reference to past pandemics, he said, “We know that we usually get a second, larger wave of these flu viruses in the fall, and so response plans have been put in place across all levels of government.”Obama said the government is “making steady progress on developing a safe and effective H1N1 flu vaccine, and we expect a flu shot program will begin soon. The program will be completely voluntary, but it will be strongly recommended.”He didn’t go into specifics on which groups have priority for vaccination—pregnant women, healthcare and emergency medical services workers, close contacts of babies under 6 months of age, children from 6 months to 4 years old, and older children and adolescents with risk factors for flu complications.In a separate, brief overview of H1N1 preparedness today, the White House said the vaccination program will be “available to all Americans that wish to participate over a period of time.” Federal officials have said they expect the first 45 million doses of vaccine—out of 195 million doses ordered—to become available starting in mid October.In his statement, Obama went on to appeal to individuals and various groups to participate in preparedness efforts.”Every American has a role to play in responding to this virus,” he said. “We need state and local governments on the front lines to make antiviral medications and vaccines available, and be ready to take whatever steps are necessary to support the healthcare system. We need hospitals and healthcare providers to continue preparing for an increased patient load, and to take steps to protect healthcare workers. We need families and businesses to ensure that they have plans in place if a family member, a child, or a co-worker contracts the flu and needs to stay home.”He also urged people to learn about indiviidual risk factors and to take commonsense precautions: “Stay home if you’re sick. Wash your hands frequently. Cover your sneezes with your sleeve, not your hands. And take all the necessary precautions to stay healthy. I know it sounds simple, but it’s important and it works.”Finally, for people who want to learn more about this virus, please go to www.flu.gov, or talk to your doctor.”Obama’s statement came 8 days after the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technolgoy (PCAST), in a lengthy report on the government’s pandemic preparations, estimated that the novel virus could infect 30% to 50% of the population and cause between 30,000 and 90,000 deaths.While generally praising the Obama adminsitration’s efforts, the advisory group called on the administration to accelerate vaccine development, clarify guidelines for antiviral use, and appoint a White House point person to coordinate the government’s response. Obama made no reference to the report in his statement today.See also: Sep 1 Obama statementSep 1 White House H1N1 preparedness and response overviewAug 24 CIDRAP New story “Presidential panel calls for planning czar, faster vaccine”

This year, too, the Food Revolution Day is being held in Malinska, which was launched in Croatia on the initiative of an enthusiast, Sabine Barbiš. This event, which was launched primarily for the purpose of educating people, is now gathering a large number of people for the third year in a row and enjoys the growing support of the Tourist Board. The rich program, which includes the fair, begins on Saturday, May 26, and on that day the Food Revolution, the movement of the famous chef Jamie Oliver, is celebrated all over the world to promote healthy eating, healthy living, local food production and purchase. public institutions.For the visitors of the event, which will be held at SRU Lastavice, the stars of the Masterchef show will cook again, some for the third year in a row, and some for the first time: Ratko Iveković, Časlav Matijević, Šime Sušić and Ante Martić. All of them, out of love for (real) food and faith in the goals of this project, volunteer to cook imaginative free meals!They will be joined by the medical staff of the Health Center of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, which will complete the whole of this health promotion from 14 pm to 18 pm, by testing blood pressure and blood sugar and talking to visitors. Also, there will be a mini eco fair throughout the day, where local producers of healthy food and natural cosmetics will present themselves.From 10 am to 16 pm, while the Masterchefs are preparing lunch, in the premises of the Municipality of Malinska, a series of lectures by nutritionists, doctors and psychologists was organized on the topic of healthy nutrition of children; lectures on basic foods and balanced adult nutrition; testing the proportion of muscle and fat tissue of the body and basal metabolism; presentation of effective exercises of a renowned personal trainer; a lecture on the importance of probiotics and lectures on soil fertility and organic food production and on the psychology of nutrition, for example, conscious eating and emotional craving for food.In cooperation with HACPN (Croatian Academic Center for Applied Nutrition), a survey on the nutrition of primary school children has been conducted for several years. Although they live on the island, where healthy food is available and the influence of grandma’s kitchens is still strong, although some schools and kindergartens declare themselves as “eco”, which includes a healthy menu for the little ones, it is surprising how unhealthy children actually eat.The Food Revolution is just aimed at children and their parents. Through such public actions, the community becomes acquainted with the movement and its goals. In small steps, a program of education of parents and children is created, so that they know the basics of a healthy diet and so that children grow into healthy people full of energy and potential for learning. You can join Food Revolution by cooking on Food Revolution Day (amateur chefs are also welcome), spreading the word about the event or as a sponsor, for example groceries. The movement is entirely voluntary and non-profit and as such depends on sponsors.As we have already written, the most beautiful feature of a tourist offer that has the greatest potential to cause all the consequent changes to the cultural offer, economic profit and the economy as a whole are manifestations. And this beautiful and healthy story from the island of Krk shows us that we can do a lot, that only will and work are important, and that work over the years is recognized and respected by institutions.We must mention that the pre-season is still going on, but this could not be a nicer overture to the summer season on Krk.
