Ixesha lomkhuhlane lilindeleke ukuba lihlale ixesha elide kunesiqhelo, i-CDC inika ingxelo
Umxholo
Ixesha lomkhuhlane lonyaka liye laba yinto eqhelekileyo. Kubaqalayo, i-H3N2, ubunzima obunzima bomkhuhlane, buye buqhubeka ngokunyuka. Ngoku, ingxelo entsha yeCDC ithi nangona ixesha lonyaka lifikelele kwincopho yalo ngoFebruwari, ayibonisi zimpawu zokucotha. (Eyeleleneyo: Leliphi elona xesha lilungileyo lokufumana i-Flu Shot?)
Ngokwesiqhelo, ixesha lomkhuhlane lisukela ku-Okthobha kude kube ngoMeyi kwaye liqala ukubuyela umva ngasekupheleni kukaFebruwari okanye ngoMatshi. Kulo nyaka, nangona kunjalo, umsebenzi womkhuhlane unokuhlala uphakanyisiwe ngo-Epreli, ngokwe-CDC-ngowona msebenzi uphucukileyo wexesha elidlulileyo abakhe barekhoda okoko baqala ukulandela umkhondo kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo.
"Amanqanaba okugula njengomkhuhlane ebekhona okanye ngaphezulu kwesiseko kwiiveki ezili-17 ngeli xesha lonyaka," ngokutsho kwengxelo. Ngokuthelekisa, iinyanga ezintlanu zokugqibela zinomyinge weeveki ezili-16 kuphela okanye ngaphezulu kwamaqondo esiseko somkhuhlane. (Idibeneyo: Ngaba umntu ophilileyo angafa kuMkhuhlane?)
I-CDC ikwaqaphele ukuba ipesenti yokutyelelwa kwezonyango kwiimpawu ezinje ngomkhuhlane ibingama-2 eepesenti aphezulu kule veki xa kuthelekiswa neminyaka edlulileyo kwaye kufuneka "silindele ukuba imisebenzi yomkhuhlane ihlale iphakanyisiwe kangangeeveki ezininzi."Owu, kuhle.
Iindaba ezimnandi: Ukusukela kule veki, ngamazwe angama-26 kuphela anamava phezulu umsebenzi womkhuhlane, ophantsi ukusuka kwi-30 kwiveki engaphambili. Ke ngelixa eli xesha lonyaka linokuhlala ixesha elide kunesiqhelo, kubonakala ngathi sikwimeko embi.
Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, umkhuhlane unokuhlala ujikeleze iiveki ezininzi, ke eyona nto ingcono onokuyenza (ukuba awukayifumani) kukufumana isitofu sokugonya. Unokucinga ukuba selidlulile ixesha, kodwa ngeentlobo ezahlukeneyo zomkhuhlane ojikelezayo kulo nyaka, kungcono ukuba ushiywe lixesha kunokuba uxolo. (Ngaba uyazi ukuba iipesenti ezingama-41 zabantu baseMelika khange bacwangcise ukufumana umkhuhlane, ngaphandle kwonyaka ophelileyo wokubulala umkhuhlane?)
Ngaba sele unomkhuhlane? Uxolo, kodwa awukacimi. Yikholwe okanye ungakholelwa, unokufumana umkhuhlane kabini ngexesha elinye. Sele kukho phakathi kwe-25,000 kunye ne-41,500 yokusweleka okunxulumene nomkhuhlane kunye nokulaliswa esibhedlele kangange-400,000 ngeli xesha lonyaka, ke ayisiyonto ithathwa lula. (Nazi ezinye iindlela ezine onokuzikhusela ngazo kumkhuhlane kulo nyaka.)
