H1N1 virus started to mutate. A new type of flu has already spread to Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, according to Reuters. ”Meanwhile, more research is needed in order to know how for those deadly new virus and how it operates an existing vaccine.

University of Michigan Health System leads study showing preliminary skin tests, divided doses unnecessary for vaccinating egg-allergic children

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Providers can skip precautionary measures when giving egg-allergic children – including those with a previously severe reaction – the H1N1 Influenza A vaccine, according to a new University of Michigan Health System-led study.

In a controlled study of 19 non-egg allergic patients and 105 egg-allergic pediatric patients, which included 25 with a history of egg-induced anaphylaxis, all received the vaccine without developing an immediate or serious reaction to the primary or booster shots. Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction which may be caused by a food allergy. Read more…

The changes are not significant yet, they said. But there have been some cases of people who were vaccinated also becoming infected, and also some deaths.

“Already this variant virus has been associated with several vaccine breakthroughs in teenagers and adults vaccinated in 2010 with monovalent pandemic influenza vaccine (protecting against only H1N1) as well as a number of fatal cases from whom the variant virus was isolated,” they wrote.

— Flu shots for the 2010-11 season will include a vaccine for pandemic 2009 H1N1 influenza, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.

Each year, flu vaccine is mixed based on a World Health Organization estimate of what flu viruses are most likely to emerge in the upcoming season. This year, health experts anticipate that an H3N2 virus, and a type B virus, are also the most likely to cause the greatest number of flu cases.

The closer the vaccine matches the viruses that emerge, the fewer persons are likely to become sick. Read more…
