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 implicat

Felitti and colleagues1 first described ACEs and defined it as exposure to psychological, physical or sexual abuse, and household dysfunction including substance abuse (
problem drinking / alcoholic and / or street drugs), mental illness, a mother treated violently and criminal behaviour in the household.1 Along with the initial ACE study,
other studies have characterised ACEs as neglect, parental separation, loss of family members or friends, long - term financial adversity and witness to violence.2 3 From the original cohort of 9508 American adults, more than half of respondents (52 %) experienced
at least one adverse childhood event.1 Since the original cohort, ACE exposures have been investigated globally revealing comparable prevalence to the original cohort.4 5 More recently in 2014, a survey of 4000 American children found that 60.8 % of children had
at least one form of direct experience of violence, crime or abuse.6 The ACE study precipitated interest in the
health conditions of adults maltreated as children as it revealed links to
chronic diseases such as obesity, autoimmune diseases, heart, lung and liver diseases, and cancer in adulthood.1 Since then, further evidence has revealed relationships between ACEs and physical and mental
health outcomes, such as increased risk of substance abuse, suicide and premature mortality.4 7
Victims of abuse are
at high risk for poor
health, related not only to the physical trauma they have endured, but also to high rates of
other social risk factors associated with poor
health.22 Abused children have high rates of growth
problems, untreated vision and dental
problems, infectious diseases, developmental delay, mental
health and behavioural
problems, early and risky sexual behaviours, and
other chronic illnesses, but child welfare and
health care systems historically have not addressed the
health needs of dependent children.23 - 33 Compared to children in foster care, maltreated children who remain
at home exhibit similarly high rates of physical, developmental and mental
health needs.34
