National Activity
H1N1 is still circulating and seasonal flu is quiet
Disease rates are lower than in the fall
Causing more disease in the southeast
Hospitalizations are due to H1N1
![Page 7: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Statistics as of 4/3/2010~ 60 million Americans infected
~ 265,000 hospitalizations
~ 12,000 deaths 90% under the age of 65 (5 times higher than seen
with seasonal flu)
~122 million doses of vaccine have been shipped

GeorgiaIncrease in flu-related hospitalizations
More than seen since October
Adults with chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease
Not immunized with H1N1 vaccine
Virus has not changed
Vaccine is effective
![Page 15: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What’s Next?Third wave remains uncertain
Concern that disease among those unvaccinated with chronic illness will continue to cause unnecessary hospitalization and death
Vaccine in fall with be trivalent
Vaccinate now with H1N1 to protect until the fall vaccine is available
![Page 16: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pre H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Assumptions
Will arrive with little warning, likely from overseas• Little time to act
Simultaneous outbreaks throughout US
The severity may not be immediately known
Duration weeks to months
![Page 17: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pre H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Assumptions
• Large numbers affected• Millions infected thus far
• Disproportionately affecting the young
• Decisions will be made on the basis of local conditions• Guidance from the CDC/WHO
• Vaccine delayed• Will probably have vaccine by late fall
![Page 18: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pre H1N1 Planning Assumptions
High absenteeism
Difficult to impossible to travel
Disruptions and shortages of fuel, food stuffs, health care
Antiviral agents in short supply
![Page 19: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Responding to the Second Wave• Less about campus evacuation and body bags
• more about caring for ill students in the residential population
• providing support for students living in the community
• Developed new criteria for student life, academic and business decision making• Number of students, staff and faculty ill• Severity of illness
![Page 20: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Public Health Strategy Goes Live
Slow down the spread in order to preserve resources (health care, critical services, supplies)
![Page 21: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lessons Learned• Plan format should:
Follow ICS response structureIdentify leadership and roles before an
incidentTrain all decision makers in ICS format
Flow from institution’s Emergency Operations PlanAnnex of overall EOPSame structure as all other EOP annexesSeamless coordination with outside agencies
![Page 22: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lessons Learned• Unlink plan to WHO phases
• All “outbreak” approach a.k.a. all-hazards • Plan needs to be adaptable to any level of public
health incident• Flexibility with plan response is critical to
success
• Don’t plan on lead time• Virus hit quick and hard with both waves• Eliminate time frames expected to be ready for
onset or next level of plan/response
![Page 23: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lessons LearnedIntegrate “triggers” in plan that will
determine next response actionDisease extent
What is its “acuity” level and risk factors to campus community?
What is extent of campus “high risk” population and vulnerability to the disease?
Disease severity How easy does it spread and can we contain it?
Absentee rate Establish parameters that trigger when to close offices,
cancel events, cancel classes, institute quarantine actions
![Page 24: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Lessons Learned• Expertise based
• CDC and state health guidelines should be foundation for response
• Direct link to public health emergency notice monitoring for campus health services
• Development of expert based knowledge by health services administrators
• Redundancy • Prevention• Response• Communication
![Page 25: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Lessons LearnedTransparency of communication paid off
Students, staff, parents, alumni all benefitedInternal communications among ICS teamExternal communications using multiple formsAcademic Affairs response
Stockpiling paid offEfforts devoted to prevention and responseShortages had strong impact on control of
virus

adopted by Coordination Group
Individual Groups consisted of a diverse group from the campus community
Groups initially were to meet on a weekly basis, but that was pushed back due to a flash flood that damaged almost 80 buildings

U of L’s Planning Fall Kick-off meeting was day before our
Flood
Vaccine distribution plan was joint effort by DEHS and SPHIS
2 MPH and an Engineering graduate students did much of the planning
Immediately began developing plans to administer 30-50K doses of vaccine
![Page 43: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Local Health DepartmentDid not have a plan in place for conducting
a mass vaccination POD
U of L had plans and logistics in place, ready to deliver vaccine to 30,000
Health Department asked the University for Help
A two page MOU turned into a 17 page contract
![Page 44: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The PlanHold a community-wide H1N1 mass
immunization point of dispensing.
H1N1 vaccines were administered via one of two methods: (1) a drive-thru or (2) a walk-up process.
Injectable and intranasal vaccines were available.
Vaccine recipients chose which method they preferred.

Pod ResultsTotal Hours of Operation – 19
Totals vaccinated – 19,079Day 1 – 12,613Day 2 – 6,466Walkthru – 6,342Drivethru – 12,737
Avg. 1004 vaccinations/hour
![Page 48: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Cost-effectivenessOverall cost was $13.35 per immunization
administered. Costs were significantly higher for the walk-
up method ($29.61/immunization administered) (Does not include public transportation costs)
Drive-thru method($5.58/immunization administered)
![Page 49: H1N1 Outbreak: Lessons Learned and Preparation for the Next Pandemic Thursday, April 15, 2010](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110400/56649dbd5503460f94ab0760/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
ResultsOn average, the drive-thru strategy provided
400 additional immunization per hour (796 vs. 396).
For 10 hours of the POD, about 50% of people handled in walk-up tent were “forced” to choose that option.
The drive-thru strategy was the least expensive method and was the process of choice by more than 60% of the citizens coming to the event for immunization.
