D epartm ent o f Human
Services (DHS) announced
Jan 6 that restrictions on
influenza vaccine are lifted,
effective immediately
This m eans that
providers will be free to give
flu shots to the general
population, as demand for
vaccine has fallen short of
supplies
As a result o f a
national vaccine shortage,
DHS previously invoked an
emergency rule to assure flu
vaccination was available for
those people in certain high
priority groups who are at
increased risk o f serious
co m p licatio n s
from
influenza Last month, that
rule was loosened to allow
vaccination of people age 50
and older, out-of-hom e
caregivers and household
contacts o f people who are
at risk.
“ Even w ith these
loosened restrictions, we are
at a point where our supply
o f vaccine is exceeding
dem and,” said G rant
H igginson, M .D ., state
public health officer in DHS
“Allowing broader dispersal
of vaccine to any Oregonian
who wants a flu shot will
help ensure that all doses are
used and will benefit the
entire p o p u latio n by
reducing
disease
transmission.”
H igginson said it
appears that about half of
high-risk persons have
received their shots to date
He notes these individuals
still have the greatest need
for p ro tectio n s and he
to seek
vaccinations immediately
In O regon, flu
season typically does not
peak until February, which
means getting a flu shot now
still p ro v id es a tim ely
safeguard against influenza,
according to H igginson
Normally, it takes two weeks
from the time of inoculation
for vaccine to becom e
effective
“ W e’ve
been
fortunate that, so far, the flu
season has been m ild,”
Higginson said “O f course,
we can’t predict how this
year will play out, so this is
an opportunity for those who
wanted to get vaccinated
before to do so now ”
Higginson said that
Oregon still has access to
about 30,000 doses o f flu
vaccine from the federal
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, but they will
need to be ordered soon
“ We continue to
work closely with county
health departments and other
vaccine providers If any of
o u r p artn ers see new
demand and want us to order
some o f those additional
doses, we will do so ,”
Higginson said “We are
really relying on our partners
who have direct contact with
clients to dictate the need for
bringing more vaccine into
Oregon.”
P ersons seeking
inform ation
about
vaccinations should check
w ith th eir health care
provider or they may call the
statewide flu hotline at (800)
978-3040 statewide or (503)
872-6900 in the Portland
area, or (800) SAFENET.
