NEW FLU STRAIN
. High Time All Night Friday
Outbreak expected | 3&facii %oras!
By Kim: McLAURIN
Associate news editor
In all probability Americans
can expect an outbreak of a
wild influenza virus called
"Influenza A’’ sometime this
winter, according to Dr. Wal
ter Brown of the University
Health Services.
Brown emphasized the fact
that there is not an official
epidemic at this time. Influ
enza A has appeared in Aus
tralia and New Zealand during
their winter, he explained, and
this makes it likely that the
virus will appear in the U.S.
A NEW FLU vaccine has
been developed and was tested
on campus last year for its
effectiveness in producing pro
tective antibodies in the blood
stream. "We could r.ot test its
effectiveness against A be
cause we didn’t have any
around then," Brown said
Now that an outbreak of A is
expected. Health Services, in
conjunction with the Center for
Disease Control in Atlanta,
hopes to use this opportunity to
test the vaccine’s effectiveness
against A. Brown said.
The r.ew vaccine differs from
the one already on the market
in that it is administered by
nose drops rather than in an
injection, Brown explained.
"THIS SETS up a local
resistance in the respiratory
system as well as one in the
blood stream,” he said, "and
the first iine of resistance to
flu is in the nose, because flur
is spread by respiratory drop
lets.”
The test done last year
showed the new vaccine to he
88 per cent effective in raising
protective antibodies. Brown
said. "The vaccine produced
very few and minoi 4 side ef
fects and did not cause sick
ness." he said.
Some of those who received
the vaccine were questioned on
their feelings every day for
two weeks, others at the end of
a two week period. Brown
explained.
"Those questioned every day
expressed some feelings of
mild discomfort — stuffy nose,
sore throat — but those ques
tioned at the end of the two
week period couldn’t remem
ber any discomfort.” Brown
said
FOR TIIE test this year, 1500
students will be needed. Brown
said. Five hundred will receive
the new vaccine. 500 the one
currently on the market, and
500 will receive a harmless
saline solution. This is done to
insure that using the vaccine is
more effective than not vaccin
ating at all. Brown explained.
Health Services will start
recruiting students to partici
pate in the study on Oct. 21,
Brown said. "We hope to get
as good a response this year as
we did last year," he said.
"After all, the student knows
that he has a two out of three
chance to get something that
will help prevent flu.”
ACCORDING TO Brown, if
the vaccine proves to be about
50 per cent effective against
Influenza A “the next step
would be commercial develop
ment.”
Brown noted that Health
Services is always crowded
with students complaining of
flu-like symptoms at the begin
ning of a new school year
"What happens is that the
people have been away from
each other all summer and
when they come back they
start exchanging organisms
with each other. They are
exposed to viruses they have
no resistance to,” he said.
"But," he added, "every
sniffle is not the flu.”
