DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY 707 South Texas Ave., Suite 101D College Station, Texas 77840 1 block South of Texas & University New strain of flu arrives in U.S.; 3 cases in Texas ATLANTA (AP) — The new in fluenza strain that health officials warned about three months ago has arrived in the United States in the first reported cases of the 1986-87 flu season. The national Centers for Disease Control reported Thursday that flu virus has been isolated this fall in five patients in the United States — three in Texas, one in New York state and one in Hawaii. The three Texas cases were all de tected in unrelated children living in Houston, said Jeff Taylor, an epide miologist with the state health de partment in Austin. The Texas de partment also suspects a fourth case in Brownsville, he said. The national agency said early analysis has been run on the viruses found in New York and Hawaii, and they appear similar to the Taiwan flu, a new strain the CDC reported in August after it was detected in Southeast Asia. Discovery of the new flu prompted the federally recom mended development of a new vac cine to be given in addition to the standard vaccine, which guards against three other flu strains. With only a few flu cases re ported, it’s impossible to predict yet the seriousness of this winter’s flu season or how widespread the new Taiwan flu might be, said Dr. Karl Kappus, a CDC influenza specialist. The new supplemental vaccine for Taiwan flu is especially recom mended for people under 35 who are at increased risk of flu complica tions because of heart conditions, lung disorders or weakened immune systems. The vaccine also is recommended to protect against flu in children who must be on aspirin therapy, since flu and aspirin have been linked to Reye syndrome, a rare but serious disease, in people 18 and under. There is still some confusion about the recommendations con cerning Taiwan flu vaccine, Kappus said. The CDC said Thursday that standard flu shots should not be de layed while doctors are awaiting their supplies of Taiwan flu vaccine; the two do not have to be given si multaneously. The new vaccine should be avail able in most areas by the end of this month, Kappus said. Textbook not modern enough for board AUSTIN (AP) — State Board of Education members voted Thursday to ban the use of the most popular high school health textbook in Texas because the volume does not include sex education. “It does not talk about human re production,” said board member Re becca Canning of Waco, who made the motion to drop “Modern Health” from the list of approved texts that can be used by districts. Textbook critic Elizabeth Judge of Houston told the board that the book published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston leaves students in the dark about reproduction. The board, meeting as a commit tee of the whole, voted 7-3 to recom mend dropping “Modern Health” from the approved list. The board also voted to require all high school health textbooks to include a section on AIDS. “Modern Health” has been the most widely used high school health textbook in Texas for several years, according to Dan Franck, a senior editor with the New York publisher that produces it. He acknowledged it contains little information on repro duction. Franck said that’s what many districts want. “We have built our books based on extensive nationwide surveys of what teachers need,” Franck told the board. But Canning said the volume is no longer adequate for a state with problems with sexually transmitted diseases and school-age pregnancies. Susan Nation, an Austin teacher and member of the textbook com mittee that made recommendations to the board, said the book was on the list because some districts do not want to teach sex education. Vidal Trevino, textbook commit tee chairman and Laredo ISD super intendent, said “Modern Health” should be left on the list. “I do not believe it is the responsi bility of the state to dictate to 1,100 districts to what extent they will teach sex education,” he said. After the vote, Franck said his company would try to get back on the approved list by offering a sepa rate sex education book that can be used in conjunction with “Modern Health.” The Battalion Wait!
