PROBLEM: Danny Finley  has been the coroner for Clay County  a rural area in the southeastern part of the state  since 2011. But thatâs not his primary job. Heâs an insurance broker working primarily in health care and a licensed funeral director  although heâs not currently active in that role.
At the time he was elected   Finley  said  Clay County was in the midst of a serious drug problem. According to KIPRC  the county of roughly 22 000 people had 25 drug overdose deaths that year. But it wasnât clear which drugs were responsible  so  Finley  couldnât tell whether the countyâs drug problem was the same or different from those in other parts of the state.
In Kentucky  more thorough death investigations and better cause-of-death data allowed  Finley  and other officials to respond to the specific problems in Clay County.  Finley  was able to determine that prescription medications were the root of the drug problem in  his  county. âMost of the media reporting was on meth labs â  Finley  said. âI would look at my data  and although meth labs were serious problems  they were not the problems I was having in Clay County.â
Since then   Finley  said  there has been a collaborative effort among hospital emergency department practitioners to better educate county residents on the dangers of misusing prescriptions and to stop overprescribing opioids and benzodiazepines  a class of drugs typically used for anxiety or panic disorders.
Aside from data management  an important element of Hargroveâs job is to help county coroners across the state discover their roles as public health officials. Hargrove nodded to  Finley  as an official who has effectively helped rally a local community to fight the epidemic. According to a KIPRC report released in August  Clay County had only five overdose fatalities in 2016  a notable drop from the 25 it had five years earlier.

PROBLEM: "The conventional approach to developing flu vaccines today is one in which we perform surveillance worldwide " said David Topham  director of the New York Influenza Center of Excellence and professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Rochester in New York.
"We collect the viruses that are circulating in people " said  Topham  who was not involved in the new study . Those viruses then typically are studied in ferrets    he  said.
"We create an antigenic map of each virus and determine how similar or different that is than the (current) vaccine strain  and if it's different enough from the vaccine strain then we select that virus to be in  next year's vaccine " Topham  said. In other words  they make their best guess on what strains will be most likely to spread and cause illness based on surveillance data
On the other hand  the new study suggests "using high-throughput sequencing methods and genetic engineering to rationally design a virus to use as a vaccine "  he  said. "I thought it was a very innovative and comprehensive approach."
The new study acted like "rocket science" compared with the conventional approach used to develop flu vaccines   he  said.
So what does the future hold for flu vaccines and where could this new approach fit in? There has been a shift among researchers around the world to focus on developing universal vaccines   Topham  said.
"These  for influenza  would be vaccines that would last for at least five years and protect against 75% of the viruses that are out there "  he  said. "There are many ways that we might be able to achieve that. This approach that's described in this paper is just one approach."

PROBLEM: "We're seeing the worst of it right now " said Dr. Randy Bergen  a pediatrician who is leading Kaiser Permanente-Northern California's anti-flu effort. "We're really in historic territory  and I just don't know when it's going to stop." (Kaiser Health News  which produces California Healthline  is not affiliated with Kaiser Permanente.)
"Some protection is better than no protection "  Bergen  said  "but it's certainly disappointing to have a vaccine that's just not as effective as we'd like it to be.
If you are sick  cover your cough and stay home from work if you can   Bergen  said. Remaining hydrated  eating nutritious foods and exercising can also help strengthen your immune system.
The hallmarks of flu are fever and body aches that accompany cough and congestion   Bergen  said.
Kaiser Permanente doctors now are being advised to prescribe antiviral drugs like Tamiflu â given as a pill or  for kids  an oral suspension â even without a lab test for influenza   Bergen  said. According to a report in The Los Angeles Times  however  Tamiflu supplies are running low.
And  Bergen  cautioned that these medications are only partly effective  reducing the time of illness by just a day or two.
