Childhood Influenza Immunization Coalition Responds To Recent Influenza Outbreaks
The recent influenza
outbreaks across the country, resulting in at least one confirmed death of
a child, is a stark reminder that the influenza virus is a serious disease
and as widespread as ever.
The reality is that influenza hospitalizes more than 20,000 children
younger than 5 years of age each year in the United States -- and causes
approximately 100 deaths. These statistics are particularly tragic because
many childhood influenza infections are preventable through annual
immunization; however, vaccination rates among children are dismally low.
"Annual influenza immunization is safe and protects our children from
disease. Many children across our nation are vulnerable to influenza
infection every year because they are not vaccinated," said Coalition Chair
Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., FACS, 17th Surgeon General of the United
States (2002- 2006), President of Canyon Ranch Institute and Distinguished
Professor of Public Health, The University of Arizona Mel and Enid
Zuckerman College of Public Health.
The Childhood Influenza Immunization Coalition is committed to
increasing vaccination rates among children. Disturbed by low rates of only
20.6% among children recommended for the influenza vaccine, the Coalition
recently issued a report outlining strategies for parents and health care
professionals to help improve immunization rates among this vulnerable
population. Two key findings of the report are: offering influenza
vaccinations at all medical visits, and making use of the full season --
vaccinating as soon as vaccines are available and also using every
opportunity to vaccinate throughout the winter into February and March
because the influenza vaccine continues to be of benefit while the virus
circulates.
"We urgently need to make influenza prevention a national priority so
that parents will take a simple, yet important step to protect their
child's health and have their children vaccinated," said Carol J. Baker,
M.D., President of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. "The
Coalition initiatives provide parents and health care professionals with
important information to encourage the vaccination of children and their
close contacts."
The Childhood Influenza Immunization Coalition was established by the
National Foundation for Infectious Diseases to protect infants, children
and adolescents from influenza by communicating with "one strong voice" the
need to make influenza immunization a national health priority. The
Coalition seeks to address and improve the low influenza immunization rates
among children. Members represent 25 of the nation's leading public health,
medical, patient and parent groups committed to protecting children's
health and encouraging wellness. The Coalition is made possible through an
unrestricted educational grant to NFID from sanofi pasteur.
