Influenza remains a major health problem in the United States, resulting each year in an estimated 36,000 deaths and 200,000 hospitalizations.4 Those who have been shown to be
at high risk for the complications of influenza infection are
children 6 to 23 months of age; healthy persons 65 years of age or older; adults and
children with chronic diseases, including asthma, heart and lung disease, and diabetes; residents of nursing homes and other long - term
care facilities; and pregnant women.4 It is for this reason that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that these groups, together with health
care workers and others with direct patient -
care responsibilities, should be given priority for influenza vaccination this season in the face of the current shortage.1 Other high - priority groups include
children and teenagers 6 months to 18 years of age whose underlying medical condition requires the daily use of aspirin and household members and out - of - home caregivers of
infants less than 6 months old.1 Hence, in the case of vaccine shortages resulting either from the unanticipated loss of expected supplies or from the emergence of greater - than - expected global influenza activity — such as pandemic influenza, which would prompt a greater demand for vaccination5 — the capability of extending existing vaccine supplies by using alternative routes of vaccination that would require smaller doses could have important public health implications.
