Mayor McCue Take Note CDC Panel Calls for Flu Vaccine for All

Posted by Randy Hollenbeck on March 21, 2010

Health, McCue

Everybody, not just those at risk of complications, should get a yearly flu shot, the CDC's immunization advisory panel says.

The CDC almost certainly will make universal flu vaccination official U.S. policy for this fall's 2010-2011 flu season, as it consistently follows the advice of the panel of outside experts, called the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

Now flu vaccination will be advised even for healthy adults ages 19 to 49 who do not come into contact with infants or elderly people, who are at highest risk of flu complications.

That's only 15% of the U.S. population.  But the ACIP say the effect of the universal recommendation will affect far more people.  That's because a lot of people for whom the flu vaccine already is recommended don't think of themselves as being at high risk.

****Spoiler Alert****

Mayor McCue, maybe this fall you can volunteer at the health clinic since you will not be Mayor.  I am sure Carol and the Cudahy Health Department could use a volunteer and that way, if you try to run for Mayor in the Naperville area, you could be honest about helping out for the flu clinic.

I am sure that we will see the McCue supports crawling out of the woodwork, to shut me up and to attempt to make me stop.  Wrong!  Just makes me want to do more!  They don’t want any descending opinions that don’t match their little world. 

Mayor McCue is a “do nothing Mayor”!
