READER’S DIGEST: What have been our biggest successes and failures?
Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services: We went from identifying the virus to producing the first vaccine in less than six months. That’s pretty unheard of! We’ve been enormously successful at distributing the vaccine —over 60 million people have been vaccinated so far. With childhood vaccinations, we have 40,000 sites for distribution.
RD: We’ve all heard about healthy people who come down with H1N1 and are dead within a few days. Are you satisfied with the medical response to this disease?
KS: Well, the data is puzzling, and I think a bit troubling, in that we know that about a third of the kids who have been seriously ill or died do not have underlying health conditions. And it’s the same with 25-year-olds and up; we don’t still quite understand why those over 65 seem to have a lot of resistance to this particular virus. I think it’s going to take a while for the scientists to figure this out — what exactly is going on with this disease. While there have been some recent reports that the vast majority of cases have been relatively mild, what the scientists are quick to say is that the severe cases are more severe than many of them have ever seen. I mean, the penetration is more rapid, it’s more devastating, it fills the lungs. So, yes, it’s pretty mild most of the time, but when it’s bad it’s really bad. But what exactly it is that triggers that, we don’t know.
RD:What can be done about public mistrust of vaccines?
KS:There are groups out there that insist that vaccines are responsible for a variety of problems despite all scientific evidence to the contrary. We have reached out to media outlets to try to get them to not give the views of these people equal weight in their reporting to what science has shown and continues to show about the safety of vaccines.
RD: I’ll just close by asking if there’s something you would like to add.
KS: Well, knowing that this is going to be a February article, I think one of our challenges is to make sure that people understand that what we saw this fall was a second wave of HIN1. We have an opportunity to get out ahead of what easily could be a third wave. There are lot of scientists who feel that if we’re successful, if we continue the vaccination program into the new year and get as many people vaccinated as possible, we really might avert what various experts believe may be a more vicious strain in the later winter months when flu season is really underway.
