CIDRAP - Daily News - Novel H1N1 Influenza (Swine Flu) SEPT 09

#1: CIDRAP link:
"Sep 3, 2009 (CIDRAP News) – The Institute of Medicine (IOM) today affirmed existing federal guidance that healthcare workers caring for H1N1 influenza patients should wear fit-tested N95 respirators, not just surgical masks, to protect them from the virus. At the same time, the IOM called for additional research on flu transmission and the effectiveness of various respiratory protection tools in clinical settings, along with efforts to develop new respiratory protection technologies to enhance safety and comfort.
"Based on what we currently know about influenza, well-fitted N95 respirators offer health care workers the best protection against inhalation of viral particles," said Kenneth Shine, chair of the committee that wrote the report, in an IOM news release."




Finaly firm scientific standup media releases about the need of respirators for HCW to be best protected from viral particles inhalation.


And obviously, that's mean the same protection will be gained by anyone else who wore it in a proper way.

The "Disclaimer" text inner the "Novartis" adjuvanted cell vaccine link,
is very interesting - a must read:


http://www.novartis.com/newsroom/media-releases/en/2009/1339223.shtml

"... These initial results should help to plan vaccination campaigns in the autumn, including doses and timings. We concluded that the MF59-adjuvanted A(H1N1) vaccine of low antigen content was well tolerated and generated antibody responses associated with protection against influenza, even after a single dose."
