Pandemic Influenza – General Pandemic Influenza – General InformationInformation
Pandemic is a worldwide epidemicWe can expect several pandemics in
the 21st century

H1N1 (Swine Origin Influenza H1N1 (Swine Origin Influenza Virus)Virus)
33,902 cases in the US (estimate is that there have been 1 million cases in the US)
3663 hospitalizations (10.8%, 0.36% of estimated cases in the US) 170 deaths (0.5% of identified cases and 4.6% of those hospitalized,
0.017% of estimated cases in the US) Genetically this H1N1 is linked to the 1918-19 strain Currently we are seeing almost totally H1N1 circulating Majority of the cases are in children and young adults Majority of hospitalized patients have underlying conditions (asthma
being the most common, others include chronic lung disease, DM, morbid obesity, neurocognitive problems in children and pregnancy).
There have been over 50 outbreaks in camps Southern hemisphere – currently seeing substantial disease from
H1N1 that is cocirculating with seasonal influenza. There has been some strain on the health systems in some situations.
About 30% of infected individuals are asymptomatic (study from Peru)

Vaccination StrategyVaccination Strategy
Molly Sander, MPHMolly Sander, MPH
Immunization Program Immunization Program ManagerManager
Pharmacists and VaccinationND Law 43-15-01: “Immunization
and vaccination by injection of an individual who is more than eighteen years of age, upon an order by a physician or nurse practitioner authorized to prescribe such a drug or by written protocol with a physician or nurse practitioner”
Pharmacists and Vaccination ND Rule: 61-04-11
Obtain and maintain a license to practice pharmacy issued by the North Dakota state board of pharmacy;
Successfully complete a board-approved twenty-hour course of study and examination pertaining to the administration of medications by injection…;
Obtain and maintain current certication in cardiopulmonary resuscitation or basic cardiac life support;
Complete an application process adopted by the board and provide required documentation;
Maintain continuing competency to retain the certicate of authority. A minimum of six hours of the thirty-hour requirement for continuing education, every two years, must be dedicated to this area of practice.
Pharmacists and Vaccination ND Rule: 61-04-11
Requirements of physician or nurse practitioner order for a pharmacist to administer injections. The order must be written, received electronically or if received orally be reduced to writing, and must contain at a minimum the:• Identity of the physician or nurse practitioner issuing
the order;• Identity of the patient to receive the injection;• Identity of the medication or vaccine, and dose, to
be administered; and• Date of the original order and the dates or schedule,
if any, of each subsequent administration.
Pharmacists and Vaccination ND Rule: 61-04-11
A physician or nurse practitioner may prepare a written protocol governing the administration of medications by injection with an authorized pharmacist for a specic period of time or purpose.
Notication of administration must be made to the ordering physician or nurse practitioner and other authorities as required by law and rule.
Every record, including notication, which is required to be made under this section, must be kept by the administering pharmacist and by the pharmacy when in legal possession of the drugs administered for at least two years from the date of administration.
• NDIIS
Pharmacists and VaccinationND Rule: 61-04-11
Pharmacists may administer medications by injection within a licensed North Dakota pharmacy or at a location within North Dakota specically identied in a written protocol.
The pharmacy shall maintain a current policy and procedural manual related to the administration of medications by injection.
VaccineVaccineSeparate novel H1N1 influenza
vaccine from seasonal trivalent vaccine.
45 million doses in mid-OctoberFollowed by 20 million doses per week
there after.Five manufacturers: same age
indications as seasonal vaccine.Both injectable and intranasal vaccine
will be available.Assume 2 doses required for
everyone, separated by 3 to 4 weeks.
ACIP RecommendationsACIP RecommendationsPregnant women because they are at higher
risk of complications and can potentially provide protection to infants who cannot be vaccinated;
Household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months of age because younger infants are at higher risk of influenza-related complications and cannot be vaccinated. Vaccination of those in close contact with infants less than 6 months old might help protect infants by “cocooning” them from the virus;
ACIP RecommendationsACIP RecommendationsHealthcare and emergency
medical services personnel because infections among healthcare workers have been reported and this can be a potential source of infection for vulnerable patients. Also, increased absenteeism in this population could reduce healthcare system capacity; Include public health personnel
ACIP RecommendationsACIP RecommendationsAll people from 6 months through 24
years of age Children from 6 months through 18 years
of age because many cases of novel H1N1 influenza are in children and they are in close contact with each other in school and day care settings, which increases the likelihood of disease spread, and
Young adults 19 through 24 years of age because many cases of novel H1N1 influenza are in these healthy young adults and they often live, work, and study in close proximity, and they are a frequently mobile population; and,
ACIP RecommendationsACIP RecommendationsPersons aged 25 through 64 years who
have health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from influenza. Chronic pulmonary disease, including asthmaCardiovascular diseaseRenal, hepatic, neurological/neuromuscular, or
hematologic disordersImmunosuppressionMetabolic disorders, including diabetes mellitus
ACIP RecommendationsACIP Recommendations Once the demand for vaccine for the
prioritized groups has been met at the local level, programs and providers should also begin vaccinating everyone from the ages of 25 through 64 years.
Current studies indicate that the risk for infection among persons age 65 or older is less than the risk for younger age groups. However, once vaccine demand among younger age groups has been met, programs and providers should offer vaccination to people 65 or older.
ACIP RecommendationsACIP Recommendations If demand exceeds supply (not expected):
pregnant women, people who live with or care for children
younger than 6 months of age, health care and emergency medical
services personnel with direct patient contact,
children 6 months through 4 years of age, and
children 5 through 18 years of age who have chronic medical conditions.
DistributionDistributionH1N1 vaccine purchased from
manufacturers by the federal government.
Vaccine is allocated to states based on population.North Dakota will receive 0.208%
H1N1 vaccine will be distributed through a third party distributor (McKesson)Will also ship ancillary supplies.
• Alcohol pads, syringes, needles, sharps containers
EnrollmentEnrollmentProviders are required to sign an
enrollment form in order to receive H1N1 vaccine.CDC is creating a standardized form. It is
currently unavailable.Enrollment requirements unknown,
but most likely include:Proper storage and handling: 35 ° – 46° FFollowing of ACIP recommendationsReporting of doses administered?
Administration FeeAdministration Fee The federal government will set a
maximum administration fee.Most likely at the Medicare rate:
$18.45/dose in North Dakota. (Different than Medicaid fee cap for VFC:$13.90)
Cannot charge for the cost of the vaccine, as it is free from the federal government.
Administration fee may be billed to patient, Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, etc.
Local public health units cannot refuse to vaccinate based on inability to pay.Private providers will probably be able to
refuse vaccination if patient is unable to pay.
NDIISThe North Dakota Immunization
Information System (NDIIS) is a confidential, population-based, computerized information system that attempts to collect vaccination data about all North Dakotans.
Healthcare providers, pharmacists, local public health units, schools, and childcares may have access to the NDIIS.
NDIISNDIISThe NDIIS will be used to track doses
administered.Similar data entry to other vaccines, but
includes high-risk groups for vaccination.
Doses administered must be reported to CDC by the state on a weekly basis.Report each Tuesday for the previous week.
Contact the NDDoH at 701.328.3386 or toll-free at 800.472.2180 if interested in obtaining access.
Strategies for VaccinationStrategies for VaccinationCheck with local public health unit
to determine local strategies.Mass Immunization ClinicsSchool Clinics:
• Recommended by CDC• Good way to capture children
Vaccination similar to seasonal influenza vaccination. (private and public mix)
Vaccine Information Statements
A VIS must be given with each dose.
2009-2010 seasonal VIS are available at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/vis/default.htm.
H1N1 VIS not yet available.
VAERS Remember to report
vaccine adverse events for both seasonal and H1N1.
http://vaers.hhs.gov/
VAERS module will be available in NDIIS.Same fields as
VAERS form.Pre-populated with
demographic and vaccine information from NDIIS.
