"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, October 16, 1991 - 35 Vaccinate now to guard against influenza virus Cold weather is on the way, and so is something that can make you feel hot. Influenza. Three different strains of the virus will hit Ontario this year, says Durham Health Services' Vaccine Preventable Disease Program Manager Marion Me- gesi. The three types are A/ Taiwan, A/Beijing and B/ Panama. A vaccine has been prepared to fight those particular strains, and 33,000 doses have already been distributed to doc- tors, nursing homes and hospi- tals across the region. The vac- cine is provided free to those over age 65 and those who are chronically ill, she explains. The flu epidemic normally occurs between November and April, she says, so the best time to be vaccinated is in late Sep- tember and October. "The intluenza virus is ex- tremely contagious," says Mar- jorie Keymer, a director of the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) and a physician special- izing in care of the elderly. "Be- cause the virus is so contag- ious, and because it changes every year, it is important for people in high-risk groups to get immunized annually." Those who fall into the high- risk category are people over 65 years of age, individuals suffer- ing heart conditions, chronic- lung conditions such as emphy- sema, asthma or bronchitis, diseases such as diabetes, can- cer, anemia, renal or sickle-cell disease, immunodeficiency/ suppression, as well as children on long-term ASA treatment . Ms. Megesi advises health professionals and ple who become extremely ill when they contract a virus to be vaccinat- ed as well. The vaccine can be obtained from your doctor. Even the vaccine only pre- vents 75 per cent of those vac- cinated from getting sick, al- though for the remaining 25 per cent, it will reduce the se- verity of the sickness.
