7. 2012-2013 Influenza Season Week 15 ending April 13, 2013
Influenza Season Week 15 ending April 13, Ten influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported to CDC during week 15. One death was associated with an influenza A (H3) virus and occurred during week 11 (week ending March 16, 2013), one death was associated with 2009 H1N1 virus an occurred during week 13 (week ending March 30, 2013), and one death was associated with an influenza A virus for which the subtype was not determined and occurred during week 12 (week ending March 23, 2013). Seven deaths were associated with influenza B viruses and occurred during weeks 8, 11, 12, 14, and 15 (weeks ending February 23, March 16, March 23, April 6, and April 13, 2013).
A total of 126 influenza-associated pediatric deaths have been reported during the season from Chicago [1], New York City [4] and 37 states (AL [1], AR [4], AZ [3], CA [4], CO [5], FL [8], GA [2], HI [1], IA [1], IL [1], IN [4], KS [2], KY [1], LA [1], MA [4], MD [3], ME [1], MI [6], MN [4], MS [1], NE [1], NH [3], NJ [7], NM [3], NV [1], NY [8], OH [4], OK [1], PA [1], SC [4], SD [3], TN [3], TX [16], UT [3], VA [1], WA [1], and WI [4]).

8. Influenza Vaccine Abbreviations
TIV (Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine) replaced with IIV (Inactivated Influenza Vaccine):
IIV refers to inactivated vaccines (egg and cell-culture based)
Includes trivalent (IIV3) and quadrivalent (IIV4) vaccines;
where necessary, cell-culture-based IIV is referred to as ccIIV/ccIIV3
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

9. Influenza Vaccine Abbreviations
RIV refers to recombinant HA influenza vaccine
trivalent (RIV3) for ;
LAIV refers to Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine
quadrivalent (LAIV4), for
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

10. Influenza Vaccine Virus Strains for 2013-14
Trivalent vaccines will contain:
An A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like virus,
An H3N2 virus antigenically like the cell- propagated prototype virus A/Victoria/361/2011, and
A B/Massachusetts/2/2012-like virus (Yamagata lineage)
Quadrivalent vaccines, will contain, in addition:
A B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus (Victoria lineage)
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

11. Recently-approved Influenza Vaccines
Quadrivalent influenza vaccine, live attenuated (LAIV4 - Flumist Quadrivalent, MedImmune)
Quadrivalent influenza vaccines, inactivated (IIV4 - Fluarix Quadrivalent, GSK; Fluzone Quadrivalent, sanofi); Flulaval Quadrivalent, IDB/GSK)
Cell culture-based influenza vaccine (ccIIV3-Flucelvax, Novartis)
Recombinant hemagglutinin vaccine (RIV3 – FluBlok, Protein Sciences)
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

12. Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccines Rationale
Two lineages of influenza B viruses: Victoria and Yamagata
immunization against virus from one lineage provides only limited cross- protection against viruses in the other
Trivalent vaccines contain only one B vaccine virus
only one B lineage is represented
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

13. Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccines Rationale
Predominant lineage is difficult to predict in advance of the season
Quadrivalent vaccines contain one virus from each B lineage
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

14. Influenza Vaccine Preference
ACIP has not stated a preference for any influenza vaccine presentation (live or inactivated, quadrivalent or trivalent) in any age or risk group
All influenza vaccines should be used only in the age group and indication approved by the Food and Drug Administration
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

15. Influenza Vaccine Administration Errors
Clinicians should not administer Influenza vaccine (IIV and LAIV) to persons outside the licensed age range for the vaccine they are using
If LAIV or IIV* is given outside the licensed age ranges it is not necessary to repeat the dose unless a mL dose was administered to a person 3 years or older
*except Fluzone Intradermal in some circumstances

16. Flumist Quadrivalent (LAIV4) (MedImmune)
Will replace trivalent LAIV starting
same presentation (intranasal sprayer) and administration
Recommendations same as those for trivalent LAIV
healthy, non-pregnant persons ages years
Similarly immunogenic to LAIV3
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

17. Fluarix Quadrivalent (IIV4) (GSK)
Approved for persons aged 3 years and older
Available in 0.5mL prefilled syringes for IM injection
Both Fluarix (IIV3) and Fluarix Quadrivalent (IIV4) available
likely more IIV3 available than IIV4 during
Similarly immunogenic to trivalent
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

18. Fluzone Quadrivalent (IIV4) (sanofi)
Approved for persons aged 6 months and older
three different presentations, all for IM injection
0.25 mL prefilled syringes for 6 through 35 months
0.5mL syringes and 0.5 mL vials
Both Fluzone (IIV3) and Fluzone Quadrivalent (IIV4) will be available
likely more IIV3 available than IIV4 in
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

19. Flulaval Quadrivalent (IIV4) (ID Biomedical/ GSK)
Approved for persons aged 3 years and older
Available in 5 mL multidose vial for IM injection
Both Flulaval (IIV3) and Flulaval Quadrivalent (IIV4) available
likely more IIV3 available than IIV4 during
Similarly immunogenic to trivalent
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

20. Vaccines Produced via Non-Egg-Based Technologies
May permit more rapid scale up of vaccine production (e.g., as might be needed during a pandemic)
Two vaccines this season, both trivalent:
cell culture-based
recombinant hemagglutinin (HA)
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

21. Flucelvax (ccIIV3) (Novartis)
Approved for persons 18 yrs and older
Available in 0.5mL single dose vials for IM injection
Vaccine viruses for ccIIV3 are not propagated in eggs; however, initial reference strains have been passaged in eggs
cannot be considered egg-free, though expected to contain less egg protein than other IIVs
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

22. FluBlok (RIV3) (Protein Sciences)
Approved for persons 18 through 49 years
Vaccine contains recombinant influenza virus hemagglutinin
protein is produced in insect cell line
no eggs or influenza viruses used in production
Available in 0.5mL single-dose vials for IM injection
Egg-free
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

23. Other Vaccines Available for 2013-14
Standard dose IIVs (multiple brands)
for persons 6 months and older, BUT age indications differ by brand
Intradermal IIV (Fluzone Intradermal)—18 through 64 years
High dose IIV (Fluzone High Dose)—65 years and older
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

24. Fluzone Intradermal Injection Device

25. Fluzone Intradermal Licensed by U.S. FDA in May 2011
Approved only for persons 18 through 64 years of age
Dose is 0.1 mL administered in the deltoid area by a specially designed microneedle and injector system
Formulated to contain more HA (27 mcg) than a 0.1 mL dose of regular Fluzone formulation (9 mcg)
MMWR 2011;60(33):

26. TIV Intradermal Administration Error
Persons older than 65 years or much younger than 18 years are more likely to have skin that is too thin for proper intradermal administration
Persons younger than 9 years and 65 and older: Fluzone ID is invalid. Re- immunize appropriately
Persons 9 through 17 years: if the HCP is certain that the dose was given intradermally, the dose may be counted and does not need to be repeated

27. Fluzone High-Dose
Contains 4 X amount of influenza antigen than regular Fluzone
Approved only for persons 65 years and older
Produced higher antibody levels; slightly higher local reactions
Studies underway to assess clinical effectiveness
MMWR 2011;60(33): 27

30. Influenza Vaccination for Persons with Egg Allergy
Most IIV and all LAIV contain residual egg protein
Most people with “egg allergy” can receive influenza vaccine
Persons age 18 through 49 years with severe egg allergy should receive Flublok (Protein Sciences) which is completely egg-free
If Flublok is not available or the person is age <18 or >49 then refer to an allergist
MMWR 2013;62(RR-7)

33. One Dose or Two? Influenza Vaccine for Children 6 Months Through 8 Years
Children 6 months through 8 years require 2 doses in first season they are vaccinated
One dose if previously vaccinated and have received at least 1 dose of 2009 (H1N1)-containing vaccine (2009 monovalent, or , , or seasonal vaccines)

A total of 126 influenza-associated pediatric deaths have been reported during the season from Chicago [1], New York City [4] and 37 states (AL [1], AR [4], AZ [3], CA [4], CO [5], FL [8], GA [2], HI [1], IA [1], IL [1], IN [4], KS [2], KY [1], LA [1], MA [4], MD [3], ME [1], MI [6], MN [4], MS [1], NE [1], NH [3], NJ [7], NM [3], NV [1], NY [8], OH [4], OK [1], PA [1], SC [4], SD [3], TN [3], TX [16], UT [3], VA [1], WA [1], and WI [4]).

37. Pertussis

38. September 11, 2013

39. Pertussis in the U.S. 2012 48,277 reported cases
Highest annual total since 1951
More than twice as many cases as in 2011 (2011=18,719)
17 deaths reported (14 among infants less than 3 months of age)
2010: 27,550 cases with 27 deaths (25 of these in children under a year old). Also increase in cases in 7-10 year olds.
Compared to 2010, fewer pertussis cases were reported in Sporadic outbreaks occurred in several states.
During the first half of 2012, increased pertussis activity or outbreaks have been reported in a majority of states, and Washington declared a pertussis epidemic in April. As of July 5, 2012, 37 states have reported increases in disease compared with the same time period in 2011.
Provisional counts from our surveillance system indicate that more than 17,000 cases of pertussis were reported to CDC through July 12, pertussis-related deaths have been reported during that same time period. The majority of deaths continue to occur among infants younger than 3 months of age. The incidence rate of pertussis among infants exceeds that of all other age groups. The second highest rates of disease are observed among children 7 through 10 years old. Rates are also increased in adolescents 13 and 14 years of age.
Recent Outbreak Activity
Localized outbreaks of pertussis are not uncommon and occur throughout the year. Some examples of pertussis activity in the US include:
A pertussis epidemic was declared in Washington on April 3, There have been 3,014 cases reported statewide through July 14, 2012, compared to 219 reported cases in 2011 during the same time period. There were 965 cases reported statewide in 2011 compared to 608 reported cases in Visit the Washington State Department of Health for the most recent information.
Minnesota is experiencing high rates of pertussis in As of June 20, 2012, 1,241 cases have been reported statewide. Visit the Minnesota Department of Health for the most recent information.
High rates of pertussis are being reported in Wisconsin. As of July 2, 2012, 2,815 cases have been reported. During the same time period in 2011, only 197 confirmed plus probable cases were reported. Visit the Wisconsin Department of Health Services for the most recent information.
States with incidence of pertussis the same or higher than the national incidence (as of July 5, 2012), which is 5.24/100,000 persons Wisconsin 50.7 Utah 14.2 New York 7.3 Washington 39.2 Maine 14.1 Illinois 6.7 Montana 32.7 Oregon 13.4 Pennsylvania 6.3 Vermont 23.7 New Mexico 11.7 Missouri 5.8 Minnesota 23.4 Arizona 8.3 Idaho 5.7 Iowa 21.0 Colorado 8.2 Alaska 5.2

Administer Tdap to ALL unvaccinated adults 19 years and older including adults over 65 years of age*
*Off-label recommendation. MMWR 2011; 60 (No. 1):13-5
M04d12 Tdap010

41. Tdap and Pregnant Women
Administer a dose of Tdap vaccine to during each pregnancy irrespective of the woman’s prior history of receiving Tdap*
To maximize passive transfer of antibody to the fetus optimum timing of Tdap is between 27 and 36 weeks gestation
Tdap may be administered earlier in pregnancy if necessary (such as for wound management)
Protect the infant- pass antibodies on.
*Off-label recommendation. MMWR 2013:62( (No.7):

42. Tdap Revaccination
Revaccination with Tdap applies ONLY to pregnant women
Does NOT apply to family members or other contacts
ACIP considering revaccination for certain high-risk populations (such as healthcare personnel)
Protect the infant- pass antibodies on.
MMWR 2013:62( (No.7):

46. Measles – United States, 2013*
159 cases reported to CDC from 16 states and NYC
157 (99%) cases are import- associated
23 imports were U.S. residents

*as of August 24. MMWR 2013;62:741-43

47. Measles Keep Your Guard Up
Any patient with fever and rash should be assumed to have measles until proven otherwise
immediate isolation
Be highly suspect of patients with fever and coryza and/or conjunctivitis, particularly if unvaccinated or international travel
Be certain of your measles immunity status

Physician-diagnosed disease no longer recommended as evidence of measles or mumps immunity
MMWR 2013;62(RR-4)

51. Meningococcal Vaccine
Meningococcal disease is bad. In fact it’s downright scary. It can kill you within 24 hours or destroy limbs.
Meningococcal Vaccine

52. Meningococcal Disease Incidence, United States, 1970-2011
Historically, meningococcal disease has been cyclical with peaks in disease incidence every 8-10 years. Rates of disease have cycled around 1 case/100,000 population, but have been declining for the last years, and we have remained at a nadir of disease incidence for the last 5-6 years. The reasons for this sustained low in disease incidence are unknown, but there is no indication, even looking at preliminary 2010 and 2011 data, that rates are increasing.
NNDSS data, ABCs data estimated to U.S. population with 18% correction for under reporting

53. Meningococcal Vaccines
Vaccine Type Age
Menomune PS 2 yrs and older

Infants at increased risk for meningococcal disease should be vaccinated with 4 doses of MenHibrix or Menveo* or Menactra (9 mos or older)
persistent complement pathway deficiencies
anatomic or functional asplenia including sickle cell disease
Infants traveling to sub-Sahara Africa or the Hajj should receive Menveo, not MenHibrix*
*ACIP has not yet made a recommendation on the use of Menveo in infants
MMWR 2013;62 (RR-2):1-27

62. Menveo Vaccine Administration Errors
Liquid C-Y-W135 component administered without using it to reconstitute the lyophilized A component
Revaccination may not be needed
serogroup A disease is rare in the U.S. so revaccination not needed if the person does not plan to travel outside the U.S.
revaccinate (no minimum interval) if international travel anticipated especially to Africa

63. MCV4 and Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV)
In clinical trials Menactra brand MCV4 appeared to reduce the response to PCV administered at the same visit
Menveo brand MCV4 did not affect the immunogenicity of PCV
Menactra should not be administered until at least 4 weeks after completion of the PCV series
Menveo can be administered at any time before, simultaneous with or after PCV
MMWR 2013;62(RR-2):18.

64. Asplenia
Asplenic persons are at increased risk of invasive disease caused by S. pneumoniae and N. meningiditis
Asplenic persons should receive PCV13, PPSV and MCV4
Menactra brand MCV4 should not be administered until at least 4 weeks after completion of the PCV13 series*
Menveo can be administered at any time before, simultaneous with or after PCV
*applies to persons of all ages. MMWR 2013;62(RR-2)

67. Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
20 million currently infected
half of infections are among persons 15 through 24 years of age
Infection occurs soon after sexual debut
Most sexually active adults become infected at some point in their life
Most severe disease occurs from persistent infection
