  1. In 1958 my Dad (Richard German) worked for Dun & Bradstreet, he was assigned to travel around Colorado/New Mexico preparing credit reports on small businesses. We were in Clayton, NM living in their travel trailer when Mom & Dad both got the flu. I was 2 years old. Vesta came to take care of me because Mom & Dad were too sick, and Mom was pregnant. Sadly Vesta died of the flu soon after. Mom & Dad always worried that she got it from them:

    1957 – 1958

    In February 1957, a new flu virus was identified in the Far East. Immunity to this strain was rare in people younger than 65. A pandemic was predicted. To prepare, health officials closely monitored flu outbreaks. Vaccine production began in late May 1957 and was available in limited supply by August 1957.

    In the summer of 1957, the virus came to the United States quietly with a series of small outbreaks. When children returned to school in the fall, they spread the disease in classrooms and brought it home to their families. Infection rates peaked among school children, young adults, and pregnant women in October 1957. By December 1957, the worst seemed to be over.

    However, another wave of illness came in January and February of 1958. This is an example of the potential "second wave" of infections that can happen during a pandemic.

    Most influenza–and pneumonia–related deaths occurred between September 1957 and March 1958. Although the 1957 pandemic was not as devastating as the 1918 pandemic, about 69,800 people in the United States died. The elderly had the highest rates of death.
