the CDC He has admitted that last year's vaccine was only effective at 36 percent to fight one of the worst flu seasons in years.As Americans prepare for another flu season, the question of whether receiving this year's flu vaccine is in the air for many and the sad success rate of last year's vaccine could be a decisive factor.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States launched a report earlier this year, which revealed that by observing the flu vaccine administered to patients between November 2017 and February 2018, the vaccine was effective only on 36 percent weather.
Each influenza strain responded differently to the vaccine, and the CDC report noted that one of the most prevalent viruses, H3N2, had an even lower vaccine effectiveness rate. When fighting H3N2, last year's virus was only effective 25 percent weather.Actually, this was higher in the United States than in Canada and Australia, where the effectiveness of the vaccine against H3N2 was approximately 10 percent. The vaccine led to higher success rates with less dangerous lines such as H1N1, where it was 67 percent effective and Influenza B, where it was effective at 42 percent.
While the low vaccine effectiveness rates have led to criticism from the CDC, Time famous that the agency has tried to defend the drug by insisting that it is still higher than in previous years, where the effectiveness rate was as low as 20 percent:
"The effectiveness of 36 percent may not seem very impressive, but the CDC emphasizes in the report that even small increases in immunity can have a major impact on public health." CDC data has shown that even in 2014-2015 , a year in which the effectiveness of the vaccine did not even reach 20%, immunizations prevented up to 144,000 hospitalizations related to influenza and 4,000 deaths.
"In addition, people who receive the vaccine, but who still end up getting sick, tend to have less serious illnesses than people who are not vaccinated."
The low overall vaccine effectiveness rate is also notable because a recent report from the CDC he admitted that More than 80,000 people died Of last year's flu, and at least 180 of them were children.
Hoax of the influenza vaccine admitted: 'There are no controlled trials demonstrating a decrease in influenza'
The report noted that influenza-like illness (ILI) reached a maximum of 7.5 percent, which was the highest percentage since 2009 when ILI reached a high of 7.7 percent. However, even with the infamous "Swine flu"Causing havoc in 2009, it was estimated that around 12,000 people died that year.
With the 2017-2018 flu season as one of the worst in years, parents also expressed concern about the medication prescribed to their children when they got the flu.
As TFTP reported In February, while Oseltamivir, the antiviral drug marketed as "Tamiflu", is usually prescribed to patients with early flu symptoms, some of the users of the drug "have had rare side effects of sudden confusion, delirium, hallucinations, unusual behavior or Self hurt. In addition to the ominous nature of these side effects is the fact that these symptoms have occurred more frequently in children. "
"Last month, Charlie Harp, 16, was given Tamiflu, the completely normal child who later took his own life hours later. "If I had known this was a problem, I would never have given it to him," said Jackie Ray, Harp's aunt and guardian.
"The parents of a six-year-old girl gave her daughter Tamiflu and she began to hallucinate, ran out and then tried to commit suicide by jumping out the window. "I was about to jump out the window when my wife came over and grabbed her," recalled the girl's father, who wanted to remain anonymous.
As the 2018-2019 flu season begins, the best parents and individuals can do is investigate the side effects and ingredients included in the vaccines or medications they take so they can receive a full education about what they can do. and they must wait. , and what treatment they should look for if the worst case occurs.
