Page 82 ~ Terrace Standard, Wednesday, October KB 1990 That time of year again “pi you know ‘that,..influen-’-’ ; za is an illness that changes. from year to year? The flu is one of the common illnesses associated with our Canadian fall and winter, In 1989 the . largest number of cases-of’ in- fluenza were seen in B. C.i inthe | middle of December. Influenza is caused by a virus. | There i is no specific treatment for it, For most of us, having the flu is not too serious, Rest, plenty of fluids and ‘medication help to ease the fever, aches and pains. Although we may feel more tired for awhile, we do recover completely. We build up a natural immunity to the virus that caused the illness, However, there are people who may develop serious com- plications from the flu, or who are not healthy enough to cope with the flu...The following groups of people’ are al risk for complications: . * adults and children who already have heart or lung disorders (e.g asthma, em- physema), | Did you” =a | “know that... Courtesy Skeona Health Unit * - PN : %* residents of chronic care facilities, w& persons over 65 years of age. * adults and children with diabetes, cancer, immune defi- ciency diseases, © blood disorders, or kidney disease. *® children and. teenagers ‘treated for long pericds with aspirin. In addition, those people who - have extensive contact with high risk groups, such as workers in chronic care facilities should be protected from the flu. Every year a vaccine is developed to protect those in- dividuals likely to suffer com- plications from the flu; The vac- cine is different each year, because the strains of influenza virus are likely to be different. The Canadian vaccine is the o one, recommended. by. the ‘World Health Organization,” mB ae The’ vaccine’ is: made up of : three strains of ' virus; and’ would protect an individual from any one of the three virises, The viruses are inactivated 0 that they are unable to cause influén- * za, but are able to stimulate the body to produce antibodies. There is 4 separate vaccine for children ‘under. 13-years of age that is Tess likely to cause side effects, ° ’ Influenza vaccine is safe for most ‘people. Only those who have Severe reactions after eating € ‘eggs should not be given influenza vaccine, If you are on regular medications, check with your doctor before having the ; ‘reaction tothe vaccine.
