Nationally, as well as locally, the medical hot topic is the availability (or should that be “un-availability”?) of the influenza vaccine Now for the surprise Throughout the state o f Oregon, Morrow County ranks as the third lowest in terms o f unmet need This means only Gilliam and Wasco counties have a lower percentage o f high-risk residents that have not received this year’s flu vaccination. According to Jennifer Jaca RN with M orrow County Public Health, Morrow County will be able to inoculate approximately 49 percent o f our residents considered “at-risk,” while Oregon officials are estimating only 20 percent of the state’s “at-risk” population will be vaccinated using current supplies How did this happen0 The main reason was source o f the vaccine Morrow County Public Health and the Morrow County Health District have chosen to order from Aventis who had no problems with the distribution o f their vaccine Morrow County received more than half of their order o f vaccine, versus Umatilla County, which received less than 10 percent; while Union and Wheeler counties received no influenza vaccine at all Due to this year’s scarcity o f the vaccine, Oregon health officials have issued a strict mandate determining who is eligible to receive these injections The vaccine is supposed to go to only those who need it most, including the very young, the elderly, those with chronic health conditions and medical personnel who work directly with patients. “Compared to the rest of the State, Morrow County is really in pretty good shape,” states Jaca “Morrow County started with just under 1200 doses o f vaccine and we (Public Health) project the county’s total need is about 3400 doses.” M orrow C ounty Public Health (M CPH ) has administered all the vaccine they received and is referring people to M orrow County Health D istrict’s Pioneer Memorial Clinic and Irrigon clinic for their inoculations MCPH is requesting more doses o f flu vaccine from the state. If additional doses become available the public will be notified.
