Durham Region's top docs rolled up their sleeves to receive a flu shot as part of Durham Region Health Department's communitywide communitywide influenza vaccination campaign. Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham Region Medical Officer of Health and Associate Medical Officer of Health Dr. Donna Reynolds, are encouraging all residents • to follow their lead and take steps to protect themselves and their families against the flu. As part of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's universal influenza vaccination vaccination campaign announced last July, Durham Region Health Department will hold 44 community clinics throughout the Region beginning beginning November 18. This initiative initiative is designed to make free flu vaccinations available to all residents of Durham Region, in an effort to decrease the spread of influenza during the peak season. "The campaign has two main functions," explains Dr. Reynolds. "Our goal is to lessen the burden of the flu experienced by area residents residents and families, while providing providing a means to decrease the high patient volumes encountered at hospital emergency rooms during recent flu seasons." According to statistics from a 1999 Durham Region Health Department survey, nine per cent of the general population received a flu shot last year. In addition, 57 per cent of adults 65 and older also had an influenza vaccination, vaccination, while only 22 per cent of Durham Region residents residents in the 18 to 64 age group with chronic diseases were vaccinated against the flu. "We've found that many people who suffer from chronic diseases were unaware that they were eligible eligible to receive a free flu shot - it's strongly recommended for people in this group," says Dr. Reynolds. "Everyone, however, can benefit from being immunized with the influenza vaccine;" During the 1999-2000 flu season, hospital emergency rooms across the GTA experienced experienced serious overcrowding due to the large number of patients arriving with flu-like illnesses. As a result, emergency emergency rooms were often unable to respond effectively to all patient concerns. "It is very important for people to understand t,he tremendous burden influenza influenza has on the community, and that a safe and effective vaccine to protect yourself is available," explains Dr. Reynolds. "By getting a flu shot you can avoid getting the flu, reduce the severity and duration of illness and stop the spread to others, especially young children, the elderly and individuals with chronic illnesses."
