SECURITY guards are being drafted in to protect Britain’s swine flu drugs amid fears of chaos if the outbreak worsens. Teams of minders will watch over the batches of medicine to stop panicked patients stealing the valuable Tamiflu tablets. The guards will also help protect medical staff from attacks by people who are turned away or refused drugs as the country goes on red alert for the killer bug.


The huge demand for Tamiflu means that special distribution centres will be set up. Police have also been involved in the planning, with drug protection officers being appointed across Britain.

Both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic said they had provided check-in staff and cabin crew with guidance on how to act if they believe a passenger is unwell. Medical advice would be taken to assess the condition of passengers exhibiting symptoms, including having a headache, sore throat, runny nose, and aching muscles. Virgin Atlantic said those suffering from the condition would be prevented from flying until they could provide a fit-to-fly certificate from their doctor or a hospital.

Trust for America’s Health

We are pleased that the NVPO is following up on the National Vaccine Plan with an implementation plan. We recommend that this plan include multiyear funding requests, identify the legislative authorities needed to achieve such strategies, and assign offices across government that will take the lead on each goal. The implementation plan should also clearly identify which office will coordinate efforts, as many goals require input and activity from different agencies and partners. The coordinating office should ensure an open and reliable communication stream within and between departments. A model to follow would be the pairing of the National Pandemic

Influenza Strategy with the National Pandemic Influenza Implementation plan, which included specific roles for each federal agency and budget requests from the White House for carrying out the plan, coordinated by Homeland Security Council. This implementation plan should be an evergreen document, reevaluated as the science evolves and evidence of effectiveness becomes available, and progress and results of each benchmark should be made transparent to Congress, researchers, industry, and the public.

Finally, it is imperative that the NVPO integrate its planning with the large infusion of federal dollars ($750 million proposed) into immunizations proposed in the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act pending in Congress. These additional one-time funds, to be spent over the next 18 months, provide the NVPO with a unique opportunity to ensure that more Americans receive the recommended schedule of vaccines. In particular, the NVPO should consider asking the Secretary to use some of this new funding to provide every adult American with an annual influenza vaccine in 2010. This would be an excellent trial-run for a severe pandemic influenza vaccination program.
