CDC's Health Alert Network (HAN) Health Advisory: human infection with avian influenza A(H5N1) virus in the United States

On April 5, CDC issued a Health Alert Network (HAN) Health Advisory: Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus: Identification of Human Infection and Recommendations for Investigations and Response ([link removed]) . Since February 2022, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) virus has been detected in wild birds in 50 states or territories. Outbreaks in commercial poultry or backyard bird flocks associated with high mortality have been reported in 48 states.

Recently, the U.S. Department of Agriculture detected HPAI A(H5N1) virus in dairy cattle ([link removed]) in multiple states. One case of human infection was confirmed.

[link removed]

This Health Advisory includes a summary of interim CDC recommendations for preventing, monitoring, and conducting public health investigations of potential human infections with HPAI A(H5N1) virus ([link removed]) .

Vaccinate Your Family releases its "2023 Annual Report" and its "2024 State of the ImmUnion Report" on vaccine-preventable diseases

Vaccinate Your Family ([link removed]) (VYF) released its 2023 Annual Report ([link removed]) highlighting the programs and partnerships that build a culture of immunization. Last year marked 30 years since the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program was authorized. This year’s report reflects on the 1 million lives saved in the United States thanks to childhood vaccines and proposes a roadmap back to a culture of immunization based on collaboration.

[link removed]

VYF also released its 8th annual State of the ImmUnion Report ([link removed]) . The primary audience for this report is Congress. In 2023, exemptions to childhood vaccinations reached an all-time high in the United States, and adult vaccination rates continued to struggle, particularly among Black, Latino, and Hispanic adults. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the rate of uninsured children who did not receive vaccines doubled from 3% to 6%. Too many people have lost faith in the public health system and some now skip vaccines. VYF’s "2024 State of the ImmUnion Report" describes the ongoing challenges our nation faces and the policies that can increase vaccination rates and promote public safety.

Influenza-like illness activity remains elevated nationally but is decreasing; it's not too late to vaccinate

For week 13, ending March 30, CDC’s Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report, FluView ([link removed]) shows that six jurisdictions experienced high activity. Nationwide, 3.0% of patient visits reported through the Outpatient Influenza-Like Illness Surveillance Network (ILINet) were due to respiratory illness that included fever plus a cough or sore throat (i.e., ILI). The national baseline is 2.9%. Seven pediatric influenza-associated deaths were reported this week, bringing the total to 133 children who died of influenza thus far during the 2023–24 season.

[link removed]

RESP-NET
Visit the CDC Respiratory Virus Hospitalization Surveillance Network (RESP-NET) ([link removed]) for weekly reports of hospitalizations across the United States due to three vaccine-preventable seasonal respiratory viruses: COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

Influenza Vaccination
CDC recommends everyone age 6 months and older get annual influenza vaccination. Influenza and other vaccines (including COVID-19 and pneumococcal vaccines) may be given at the same visit, if indicated. Infants age 6 months and older may receive influenza and COVID-19 vaccines at the same visit.

Locate influenza and COVID-19 vaccines in your area by entering your zip code in the VaccineFinder on Vaccines.gov ([link removed]) or Vacunas.gov ([link removed]) . To be listed as a provider by VaccineFinder, see the information on this website ([link removed]) .

Updated 65+ Flu Defense website offers resources for healthcare professionals serving older adults

Confident recommendations for influenza vaccine from healthcare providers are powerfully persuasive. To assist you in maximizing protection for your patients, Immunize​.org, in collaboration with CSL Seqirus, updated the 65+ Flu Defense ([link removed]) website.

Older adults are at increased risk of severe influenza and COVID-19 illness, including hospitalization and death, especially if they are not up to date on these vaccinations. An updated fact sheet on the website, The Importance of Preventing Influenza and COVID-19, ([link removed]) ([link removed]) offers responses to help guide discussions with patients on the importance of preventing influenza and COVID-19.

[link removed]

This helpful site includes information, tools, and tips for communicating with adults age 65 and older about the scope and severity of influenza. Resources include:
* Influenza in Adults 65+: The Facts ([link removed])
* Influenza Vaccination: Questions Patients Aged 65 and Older Frequently Ask Their HCP ([link removed])
* The Importance of Preventing Influenza and COVID-19 ([link removed])

Check out the updated 65+ Flu Defense website at www.influenza-defense.org ([link removed]) to assist your ongoing efforts in protecting this vulnerable population.

“Federal Retail Pharmacy Program Contributions to Bivalent mRNA COVID Vaccinations across Sociodemographic Characteristics—United States, September 1, 2022–September 30, 2023” published in MMWR

CDC published Federal Retail Pharmacy Program Contributions to Bivalent mRNA COVID Vaccinations across Sociodemographic Characteristics—United States, September 1, 2022–September 30, 2023 ([link removed]) on April 4 in MMWR. A portion of the summary appears below.

Pharmacies participating in the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program (FRPP) served as integral partners in national efforts to scale up vaccination capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic emergency response. . . .

Among 59.8 million COVID-19 bivalent vaccine doses administered in the United States during September 1, 2022–September 30, 2023, 40.5 million (67.7%) were administered by FRPP partners. In urban and rural areas, FRPP partners administered 81.6% and 60.0% of bivalent vaccine doses, respectively. . . .

FRPP partnerships were critical in ensuring access to bivalent COVID-19 vaccination services in the United States and could serve as a model to address vaccination services needs for routine vaccines and during future responses to vaccine-preventable disease emergencies.

“Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine Uptake among United States Adults, Aged 27–45 Years” published in Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics

In the April 13, 2023 issue, Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics published Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine Uptake among United States Adults, Aged 27–45 Years ([link removed]) . Key findings appear below.
* There was low self-reported prevalence of HPV vaccination uptake (15.5% of the study sample) among all adults ages 27–45 years, regardless of race/ethnicity
* After adjusting for race/ethnicity and other potential confounding factors, women had more than three times the odds of vaccine initiation compared to men
* Compared to Non-Hispanic White adults between 27 and 45 years, Non-Hispanic Black adults were more likely to be vaccinated against HPV after adjusting for potential confounders, while Hispanic adults were less likely to be vaccinated
* Adults with a regular place of healthcare had greater odds of receiving the HPV vaccine compared to adults without one

The authors concluded that, given HPV vaccine’s importance in cancer prevention, it is critical to mitigate low overall rates and disparities.

“Surveillance to Track Progress toward Polio Eradication—Worldwide, 2022–2023" published in MMWR

CDC published Surveillance to Track Progress toward Polio Eradication—Worldwide, 2022–2023 ([link removed]) on April 4 in MMWR. A portion of the summary appears below.

The primary means for detecting poliovirus is through surveillance for acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), supplemented by environmental surveillance of sewage samples. . . .

During 2022–2023, among 28 priority countries experiencing or at high risk for poliovirus transmission, 20 (71.4%) met national AFP surveillance indicator targets, and the number of environmental surveillance sites in priority countries increased. However, substantial national and subnational AFP surveillance gaps persist. . . .

Maintaining high-quality surveillance is critical to achieving the goal of global polio eradication. Monitoring surveillance indicators is important to identifying gaps and guiding surveillance strengthening activities, particularly in countries at high risk for poliovirus circulation.
