SNOHOMISH COUNTY — Health officials are hoping to boost local residents’ immunity to the H1N1 virus to prevent any possible “third wave” of illness.
“A ‘third wave’ of H1N1 illness is a real concern — unless half the population has immunity to the virus,” said Dr. Gary Goldbaum, health officer and director of the Snohomish Health District. “People develop immunity through vaccination or through illness. We estimate that between 30 percent and 40 percent of our community has some immunity to H1N1, but we need to boost that to 50 percent to stop the virus in its tracks, preventing a third round of illness in Snohomish County.”
