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.

estimates that there are likely to be places on Earth where unprotected humans without cooling mechanisms,

such effect has been observed or inferred in more than half a billion years of climate, since the concentration of CO2 in the Cambrian atmosphere approached 20 times today's concentration, with an inferred mean
global surface temperature no more than 7 ° K higher than today's (Figure 7), and since a feedback - induced runaway greenhouse effect would occur even in today's climate where b > = 3.2 W m — 2 K — 1 but has not occurred, the IPCC's high - end
estimates of the magnitude of individual temperature feedbacks are very likely to be excessive, implying that its central
estimates are also likely to be excessive.
