Sir Liam Donaldson, England&#8217;s chief medical officer,\u00a0announced plans to scale back the pandemic flu service now cases are falling. At the moment there are around 1600 call centres. He plans to reduce this to between 200 and 600 from 23rd August, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/health\/8199629.stm\">BBC<\/a>.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere around the globe swine flu levels fluctuated. In Europe, Norway reported a rising number of cases. Further afield, Australasia has a mixed picture \u2013 the number of cases in Australasia is rising and preliminary reports suggest they are falling in New Zealand. In South Africa and Asia rates have increased. And in the Americas they saw fewer cases.<\/p>\n<p>With a dwindling number of cases, much UK media coverage has turned to vaccination priority groups. The headlines vary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Priorities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHealthy children and over 65s are not a swine flu vaccine priority,\u201d said <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/health\/swine-flu\/6023403\/Healthy-children-and-over-65s-are-not-swine-flu-vaccine-priority.html\">the Telegraph<\/a>. \u201cPregnant women to get vaccine,\u201d the <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/health\/8199629.stm\">BBC reported<\/a>. \u201cFirst Swine flu vaccinations on the way for more than 13m Britons,\u201d wrote the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/world\/2009\/aug\/13\/swine-flu-pandemic-vaccines-for-britons\">Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Vaccinations will start in October. Although there are enough vaccinations on order for the whole UK population, they will not all be available by October \u2013 this is one factor that means priority groups are needed.<\/p>\n<p>At risk people (aged six months to 65 years) who get the seasonal flu jab will be first. Pregnant women will be next, subject to licensing and clearer information on timing. People living with immunosupressed individuals or those who are over 65 with co-morbidities will follow. Next will be front line health and social care workers. After that, officials will consider how best to manage risk in the wider population.<\/p>\n<p>Sir Liam Donaldson said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are looking at the prospect of extending the vaccination programme and the timing of that. We have to protect the most vulnerable and I think people will understand that we don\u2019t want to see people who have underlying illnesses, particularly children, getting into a situation where they get serious complications from this flu.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Discrepancies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The UK\u2019s priority groups\u00a0differ from the US&#8217;s,\u00a0according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/health\/swine-flu\/6023403\/Healthy-children-and-over-65s-are-not-swine-flu-vaccine-priority.html\">The Telegraph<\/a>. In the US, healthy six month to 24 year olds will be a priority; some had expected schools and children to be a priority in the UK. Apparently, the discrepancy reflects a difference in the strategy of the two countries. The US is concentrating on reducing transmission, but the UK aims to prevent severe illness and death \u2013 most infections in healthy children and adults are mild.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rolling it out<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>0.3 million jabs are ready. There are 11 million in the target groups above. Trials of the swine flu vaccine are underway, but there are concerns that one of the companies developing the vaccine, Baxter pharmaceuticals, is behind schedule. Sir Liam Donaldson said that the company has had difficulties growing the virus. However, GlaxoSmithKline, the other supplier, is contracted to deliver the majority of the UK\u2019s order.<\/p>\n<p>The government and leading doctors are now planning how to deliver the vaccine. For example, the jab could be given with the seasonal flu jab, if an individual needs both, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/health\/8199629.stm\">BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sewage <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCatch it, bin it, kill it\u201d is the advice for preventing flu. But according to a story in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/health\/swine-flu\/6018556\/Swine-flu-blamed-for-blocked-sewers.html\">The Telegraph<\/a> some people are flushing it, and that may be causing problems. Anglian water think Swine flu could be behind \u201csignificant increase in blocked sewers and pumps\u201d. They blame wipes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWipes should not be flushed down the toilet, despite what the packaging may say, as unlike toilet paper, wipes do not break up \u2013 they can accumulate in the drains,\u201d explained a spokesman for Anglia water, which supplies 5 million domestic and commercial customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The number of swine flu cases fell across the UK again, according to the weekly figures from the Health Protection Agency, although they caution their interpretation.
