<p>This is an Official<br />
Indiana Health Alert Network Advisory Message</p>
<p>Distributed via the Indiana Health Alert Network<br />
12/2/2009 2:07:18 PM<br />
IHAN-675-2009-12-2</p>
<p>Urgency Type:  Advisory<br />
Message Status:  Actual<br />
Message Type:  Original</p>
<p>Fradulent Email Related to State Vaccination Program</p>
<p>The following message was received from the CDC regarding a phishing scheme related to H1N1 vaccination programs.   Some of you may have received a preliminary copy of this message yesterday.  After realizing the seriousness of the message, we decided to send it out again and we are requesting that you pass this message on to other medical and public health professionals that may not participate in the IHAN system.<br />
The CDC/OCISO Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) has received reports of fraudulent emails (phishing) referencing a CDC sponsored State Vaccination Program.</p>
<p>The messages request that users must create a personal H1N1 (swine flu) Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov website. The message then states that anyone that has reached the age of 18 has to have his/her personal Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov site.</p>
<p>The CDC has NOT implemented a state vaccination program requiring registration on www.cdc.gov. Users that click on the email are at risk of having malicious code installed on their system. OCISO reminds users to take the following steps to reduce the risk of being a victim of a phishing attack:</p>
<p>- Do not follow unsolicited links and do not open or respond to unsolicited email messages.</p>
<p>- Use caution when visiting un-trusted websites.</p>
<p>- Use caution when entering personal information online.</p>
<p>You can view an example of the Phishing email that some providers have received by clicking on the following link that will display the example email from the portal:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>IHAN - Indiana State Department of Health - Advisory - 654 - Updated Pediatric Antiviral Dosing Syringe and Compounding Information for 2009 H1N1 and Seasonal Flu</strong></p>
<p> Note on Tamiflu Oral Suspension Syringe</p>
<p>The second issue that pharmacists and physicians may face is the need to ensure that the units of measure on the dosing dispenser and the dosing instructions match.  An oral dosing dispenser with 30 mg, 45 mg, and 60 mg graduations of Tamilfu is provided in the packaging for the manufacturer&#8217;s product rather than graduations in milliliters (mL) or teaspoons (tsp).  This can lead to patient or caregiver confusion and dosing errors.  When dispensing commercially manufactured Tamiflu,  oral suspension, pharmacists should ensure the units of measure on the dosing instructions match the dosing device provided.   If prescription instructions specify administration using mL or tsp, then the device included in the Tamiflu product package should be removed and replaced with an appropriate measuring device, such as an oral syringe if the prescribed dose is in milliliters (mL).</p>
<p>When dispensing Tamiflu oral suspension for children younger than 1 year of age, the oral dosing dispenser that is included in the product package should always be removed. Pharmacists and health care providers should provide an oral syringe that is capable of accurately measuring the prescribed milliliter (mL) dose, and counsel the caregiver how to administer the prescribed dose. Oseltamivir is authorized for emergency use in children younger than 1 year of age under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) issued by FDA. For the EUA, see <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/eua/pdf/tamiflu-hcp.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/eua/pdf/tamiflu-hcp.pdf</a>.</p>

<p>Clinicians Advised to Halt Use of Propofol from Tainted Lots</p>
<p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have been investigating recent cases of febrile reactions among patients undergoing endoscopy in the United States.</p>
<p>This investigation has revealed that all of the case-patients received the anesthetic propofol from 100 ml vials manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals.</p>
<p>Testing done by the FDA has found that two lots of this product that were in use in facilities reporting febrile reactions were positive for elevated levels of endotoxin.</p>
<p>The lots are 31305429B and 31305430B.</p>
<p>Teva Pharmaceuticals is initiating a voluntary recall for these lots, and clinicians are advised to immediately stop using these lots of Teva Pharmaceuticals propofol.</p>
<p>CDC, FDA and Teva Pharmaceuticals are continuing to investigate this issue.</p>
<p>To date, all case-patients have recovered.</p>
<p>As additional information about the recall becomes available, an updated Health Alert Notice will be provided.</p>
