Priority List Set on Flu Vaccine in Kansas
A Kansas advisory committee recommended a priority list for Asian flu vaccine but took no action to regulate distribution. The panel, led by Dr. Thomas R. Hood, projected about one million doses by December to immunize roughly half the population. Eligible groups include pregnant women, chronically ill, children under five, seniors over 65, police, public utilities, health workers, and those caring for the sick, with institutions like hospitals and nursing homes also prioritized. The memo notes possible epidemic attack rates and states distribution will follow population-based allocations by the U S Public Health Service, with most doses routed through private physicians.
