Henry Schein first to ship vaccine to doctors.(Brief Article)
2002 SEP 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Henry Schein, Inc., (HSIC) has begun shipping Fluvirin influenza vaccine from U.K.-based PowderJect to customers, including office-based physicians, across the United States. The company plans to ship at least 17 million doses of influenza vaccine this season.
"It is extremely important that physicians receive influenza vaccine in their offices as soon as possible so they can begin vaccinating those who are 'high-risk' in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines," explained Janet McElhaney, MD, director of the Glennan Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia and consultant to Henry Schein, Inc.
"Physicians should already have begun scheduling patients for office visits, but now that they have the vaccine in hand, they should have the confidence to make sure all of their patients are scheduled for the entire season," McElhaney added.
According to the CDC, patients at risk for complications from influenza include those 65 years and older; those under 65 who have underlying chronic illnesses; children under 9 who are receiving flu vaccine for the first time; children age 6-23 months; household contacts and caregivers for those considered high-risk; and health care workers. These individuals should seek out vaccination by a physician as soon as vaccine is available, preferably between September and November.
Those who are not at risk for complications from influenza, including healthy adults age 50-64 and those under 49 who want to reduce their risk for influenza, are encouraged to seek influenza vaccine in November and later.
