Thas year. the su rpnse wa.s A/Sydney. a llu virus not tncluded tn the 1997-98 vacctne . The Sydney tlu lirst appeared an Australia tn June 1997. and arrived in the Unated States 111 Ocmber. The contents of the 1997-98 vaccine. howe ver. had been determaned month s before. "The 11ming is always such that tt 's hard to have all the infonnation we need to make the decision.

The FDA and the Centers for Di sease Control and Preventton are waiting to see how the current tlu season plays out before deciding. Cherry said. According to most recent flu data from the CDC. 44 states and the Distnct of Columbia are reporting wide-· spread or regional outbreaks of flu .

It is far too early to assess the actual results of the programs because many of the rules are just taking effect.

The sludy. however, djd not try to judge how recipients and the poor are fanng under the new rules. but rather evalualed 34 areas of welfare policy and sought to determine whether those policies were more or less likely. to help or hun efforts to move people from public assistance into jobs. The study. its authors said. "was designed to provide early feedback to help evaluate the likely impact of state welfare program (policies) on family economic well-being while the nation waits for longer-term measures of their outcomes. "Each state 's score prov ides a measure of whether that state is using it's newly available llexibility to invest in the economic circumstances of the poor." the study sa id.

The study also gave high scores.to states I hat provided job training, child care and other assistance that made it easier for welfare recipients to find and keep jobs. . Batt. a Republican, said Idaho was singled out for criticism. in part. for limiting re~ipients to two years of welfare benefits during their lifetimes. "We are tracking each of the former recipients tcr see how they're mak ing out. what services they need and whelher an extension of that (two-year) limit is justified," Batt said Sunday in Washington, where he was attending a governors' conference. Vermont Gov. Howard Dean. a Democrat. said the study confirmed that his state's approach of a tough work requirement combined with help that will make families self-sufficient was working. Vermont established a work requirement "wi th the philosophy that every child deserves to grow up in a home in which someb<xly contribute s to society." Dean said. "We have a lot more family-friendly support like health care. job training and things of that sort than most states," added Dean, who said the state acled l~ng before the welfare reform bill became law.
