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.

yes i agree... i only use 130 as a generalization... and yes the
conditioned individual can mobilize triglycerides out of the muscle at a
heart rate over 130, which in the
conditioned individual will be used in the mitochondria
for fuel... however in the unconditioned individual the triglycerides mobilize but then re-form back in the muscle as fat and so are not used as fuel... science is yet to really explain why this happens... but in my experience the
conditioned individual is just more efficient at burning fat... and the unconditioned individual is simply in the process of becoming more efficient... so i
recommend the unconditioned individual start with cardio that is less intense below 130... then when they get more
conditioned through the resistance training... i will
recommend more intense cardio over 130 beats...
