Influenza vaccine update
H1N1 vaccine coming more slowly to Oregon than expected – Public Health officials call for patience and increased focus on other prevention measures. On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control announced that H1N1 vaccine yield is lower than earlier anticipated. According to the CDC, nationwide 40 million doses had been estimated by the end of October but only about 28 to 30 million doses will be available during that time frame. To date, Oregon has received approximately 80,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine and more is scheduled to arrive this week. At a news conference at the state public health department's H1N1 center, Mel Kohn, MD, director of the Oregon Public Health Division discussed the state's response to the delay. He was joined by Kathleen O'Leary, RN, Washington County Public Health Administrator and Gary Oxman, MD, health officer for Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington counties. Dr. Kohn said that in spite of the delay in manufacturing more H1N1 vaccine is on the way to Oregon, some vaccine clinics are opening this week around the state and more will be opening throughout October and November. "This kind of delay commonly occurs during flu vaccine production. It's just the biology of the virus," said Dr. Kohn. "No corners are being cut when it comes to the safety of manufacturing this vaccine. It's meeting the same high standards as the seasonal flu vaccine." "The H1N1 vaccine is coming, but not as quickly as we would like," added Dr. Kohn. "We know that demand for the vaccine is very high and we are asking people to be patient until it comes to their community and to keep checking back with the Web site or hotline for more information. Although we wish we had more vaccine to give now, there will still be value in vaccinating people in the coming months." The state sponsors a Web site at www.flu.oregon.gov that posts public flu clinics as well as a statewide hotline at 800-978-3040 – both have the most recent information so that people can stay informed about open flu clinics. "People are disappointed that there isn't more vaccine available – we are too," said Ms. O'Leary. "Every county health department has a team working to make sure it is getting out to providers, hospitals, and clinics. Once received, we're moving it out quickly." Until the vaccine arrives in adequate quantity, officials say that the other prevention measures become even more important. "If you're even thinking about going to work or to school if you're sick, don't," said Dr. Oxman. "We all have to take responsibility for ourselves, our families and our communities and stop the spread of H1N1 flu." Dr. Oxman also reminded people to wash their hands, use hand sanitizer whenever possible, and to cover their coughs and sneezes.

Jobs in Oregon
There were 18,242 job openings in Oregon this spring, according to the results of the 2009 Oregon Job Vacancy Survey. That was significantly fewer than the 47,888 job vacancies employers reported last spring. Despite the weaker economy, employers reported a tough time filling certain occupations, and one in ten vacancies went unfilled for at least two months. The survey, conducted in late May and early June, provided information regarding the number of job vacancies, their required education level or licenses, and starting wages being offered in Oregon. Employers also provided insights into how long openings went unfilled and whether the vacancies were for newly created positions. Some of the key findings are: • Vacancies existed across a wide span of nearly 400 different occupations, and only 5 percent were for newly created positions, suggesting that most openings were created through turnover. • Registered nurses were in the most demand, with 1,004 vacancies statewide, followed by retail salespersons (556) and nursing aides (483). • The health care and social assistance industry had the most vacancies with 5,744, followed by accommodation and food services (2,535), educational services (1,554) and retail trade (1,506). • There were at least 3,562 vacancies for positions that offered starting wages of more than $15 an hour. The majority of these openings required education beyond high school and nearly all required previous experience. The full statewide report and regional reports are available on-line at www.QualityInfo.org.
Prepare now to survive a West Coast tsunami
Two weeks after tsunamis in Sumatra and American Samoa initiated by powerful earthquakes killed hundreds of people, a growing number of Oregonians are wondering how people living along the West Coast will fare when a large – and possibly overdue – quake shakes our own soil. "Unfortunately, our fascination with the physical phenomena eclipses our interest in preparing to survive our next big earthquake and tsunami," said Patrick Corcoran, a hazards outreach specialist with the Oregon Sea Grant program at Oregon State University. The Cascadia Subduction Zone, which stretches more than 700 miles from northern California to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, has experienced several major earthquakes during its long history. "The release of pressure between two overlapping tectonic plates along the subduction zone regularly generates massive 9.0 magnitude earthquakes – including five over the last 1,400 years," Corcoran said. "The last 'Big One' was 309 years ago. We are in a geologic time when we can expect another ‘Big One,’ either in our lives or those of our children. "Prudence dictates that we overcome our human tendencies to ignore this inevitability," he added. Corcoran teaches people who live in or visit Oregon coastal areas three key things they need to know about tsunamis. The first, he says, is to know the difference between local and distant earthquakes. A local earthquake feels powerful and lasts up to five minutes. Duck, cover your head and hold on until the shaking stops, he advises, and then run for higher ground. You'll have 15 to 30 minutes to get to a height of 50 to 100 feet above sea level to be safe. "The tsunami is a series of surges, and often the first one is not the biggest," Corcoran warned. "Wait 12 hours to return to the area and do not expect to be able to drive or use telephones or cell phones." If you hear an official warning but do not feel an earthquake, you have more time: an earthquake happened somewhere else and you should have a few hours to evacuate the beach, lowlands and waterways. Turn on local television and radio stations to find more information and wait 12 hours to return to the beach or lowlands. A second key piece of information is to know the location of local earthquake and tsunami “danger zones,” which Corcoran says can be surprisingly large. They are defined on official maps from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, online at http://www.oregongeology.com/sub/earthquakes/Coastal/Tsubrochures.htm. Evacuation zones for the Oregon coast also can be found at http://www.nanoos.org/data/products/oregon_tsunami_evacuation_zones/index.php.
Use the maps to identify not only the dangerous areas where you live, but also where you work, shop and play, Corcoran advised, and note what routes will take you to safety. Maps also are available at fire departments and city halls. "For distant tsunamis, as a general guideline, consider the inundation to be similar to a severe winter storm at high tide," Corcoran said. Distant tsunamis are more frequent but much less dangerous. Most people won't need to go anywhere; and staying put will greatly help local officials. A third key piece of preparedness is planning how to reconnect with loved ones. Have a family plan for what to do if separated in a disaster. For a local event, Corcoran suggests teaching everyone to get to safety, stay there and reconnect when it's over. Messages for children might include, "Don't try to return home between waves. We'll find each other when it is safe." Identify a non-local person in another state for everyone to call as soon as possible. You may have to try alternative communication tactics to landlines – and even cell phones – such as texting, satellite phones or HAM radio. If the tsunami is from a distant earthquake, phone lines will be undamaged, but likely overloaded. Among other safety tips: • Sirens do not mean run. Ironically, sirens indicate a distant tsunami and three or more hours to evacuate the inundation zone; • Don't plan on driving your vehicle to safety after a major earthquake. Damage to your garage door, a tree across the driveway, a power line across the road, broken bridges and landslides likely will make driving to safety impossible – and a waste of precious time; • In addition to buying an emergency kit, which could get covered with rubble, take CPR and first aid classes;
• Consider buying a NOAA all-hazards radio, which will give immediate information on where a distant earthquake is located and how soon a tsunami might arrive. "The next ‘Big One’ is imminent," Corcoran said, "but education can vastly improve our odds of surviving the earthquake and tsunami. Education also can save us from unnecessary chaos from distant, smaller events."

Marshfield set the tone from the get-go against visiting North Eugene last Friday night at Pete Susick Stadium in Coos Bay and snapped a two-game losing streak with a 55-20 5A Midwestern League win. The Pirate defense forced the Highlanders (3-3, 0-2) to punt after receiving the kickoff, then it was the offense’s turn and on the first play from scrimmage, senior quarterback Kyle Tedder threw to his right to senior receiver Chris Krajcir who then launched a 66-yard scoring strike to a wide open senior Joey Morgan. Sophomore Dalton Milburn’s extra point was good, 7-0 Marshfield with 9:42 to go in the first quarter. The Pirates went up 14-0 on a one-yard plunge by Tedder, the first of five TD runs by the signal-caller. He finished with 172-yards on 13 rushes. It was 41-14 at the half. North got a couple of three-yard touchdown runs by big running back Mike Bibbee. However, the Homecoming game, which included a tribute to former Pirate coach Kent Wigle at half-time, was over. The Pirates got two more scores in the second half, junior fullback Jorgen Mulkey from three-yards out, and junior back-up quarterback Dallas Milburn from two-yards.
