Influenza
• Contagious disease caused by RNA virus
• Primarily affects the respiratory tract
• Can cause severe illness and lead to life-threatening complications
• Global infectious disease threat
• Annual public health problem
![Page 5: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Transmission: How Influenza Spreads
• Contact with respiratory secretions from an infected person via– Coughing or Sneezing– Touching respiratory droplets on:– Self, another person or object
**** THEN *****
• Touching one’s mucous membranes– Eyes, mouth, nose
– Without washing hands

Seasonal Influenza Information
• Incubation period: 1 to 5 days from exposure to onset of symptoms
• Communicability: Maximum 1-2 days before to 4-5 days after onset of symptoms
• Timing: Peak usually occurs December through March in North America

Seasonal Influenza is a Serious Illness
Who is at greatest risk for serious complications?– Persons 65 and older– Persons with chronic diseases– Infants– Pregnant women– Nursing home residents
![Page 10: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Comparison of Pandemic and Seasonal Influenza
• Seasonal caused by subtypes of influenza viruses to which people have been previously exposed
• Pandemics caused by subtypes to which– People have never been previously exposed
OR
– People have not been exposed for a very long time
![Page 11: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Defining Pandemic Influenza
Global outbreak with:
– Novel virus - all or most people susceptible
– Readily transmissible from person to person
– Wide geographic spread
![Page 12: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Influenza Viruses
• Subtype based on surface glyco-proteins– 16 different hemaglutinins (H)– 9 different neuraminidases (N)
• Human types: H1N1, H3N2• Current avian: H5N1
• RNA viruses mutate very vigorously

Avian Influenza High Concerns
• Has caused severe disease in humans who have been infected
• Limited human-human transmission has occurred in Asia
• Could evolve to be readily transmissible between humans
• No vaccine for humans is available• Limited supply of expensive antiviral
medicines
![Page 22: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
“The pandemic clock is ticking, we just don’t know what time it is”

Historical Review of Pandemic
• 1918-19 is selected because– Severity of disease– Enormous impact on society
![Page 24: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The 1918 Influenza Pandemic
![Page 25: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
America’s Forgotten Pandemicby Alfred Crosby
“The social and medical importance of the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic cannot be overemphasized.
It is generally believed that about half of the 2 billion people living on earth in 1918 became infected. At least 20 million people died.
In the Unites states, 20 million flu cases were counted and about half a million people died. It is impossible to imagine the social misery and dislocation implicit in these dry statistics.”

Influenza Control Measures
• Vaccines
• Anti-viral medicines
• Preventing transmission – Infection control
• Preventing contact – Social distancing
![Page 31: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Preventing TransmissionInfection Control
• Hand hygiene
• Face masks for symptomatic persons
• Isolation of ill people and quarantine of those exposed
![Page 32: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Preventing Contact Social Distancing
• School closures
• Cancellation of public gatherings
• Deferring travel to involved areas
• Providing alternatives to face-to-face contacts at work and in other venues
• Increasing distances between people over 3 feet
• Decreasing contact between people
![Page 33: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Influenza Control: Quarantine
• Challenges– short incubation period for influenza– a large proportion of infections are
asymptomatic– clinical illness from influenza infection is non
specific
• Not used during annual epidemics
• Could potentially slow onset of a pandemic before sustained person-to-person transmission has been established
![Page 34: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Medical Care during an Influenza Pandemic
• Surge capacity of the hospital system is limited
• Challenges:– Magnitude and duration– Staff shortages– Limited ability to call in external resources
![Page 35: WWU Broad View Pandemic Influenza Fall 2006. Appreciation Materials in this program were modified from March 2006 information from the City of Bellingham,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e535503460f94b494ad/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
U.S. HHS Doctrine: Save Lives
U.S. Health & Human Services Department:
• Slow spread, decrease illness and death, buy time
• Lowers the peak burden on medical infrastructure
• Diminishes overall cases & impacts
No Intervention

Despite . . . – Expanded global and national surveillance – Better healthcare, medicines, diagnostics– Greater vaccine manufacturing capacity
New risks:– Increased global travel and commerce– Greater population density– More elderly and immunosuppressed– More daycare and nursing homes
