Older Adults With Chronic
Illnesses Urged To Get Fhi Shots
Special TO The Pest
.Raleigh - State health officials an
urging older adults and people with
chronic illnee** to get their flu
■ftots now. Flu usually arrives ip lata
tall or early winter, but immuniza
tion must be given weU in ad
vance for the immunity to have time
to develop.
"It’s especially important for peo
ple in the high risk -group -
generally persons over age 85 or
those with chronic illnesses such as
diabetes, heart, lung, or kidney
disease ~ to get their flu shots now,”
according to Dr. J. N. MacConnack,
chief of the N.t. Department of
Human Resources’ Epidemiology
Section.
He added that flu is usually a mild
disease in children, young adults,
and middle-age people who are
healthy. However, flu can be life
threatening for older adults or per
sons with chronic illnesses be
cause it lowers the body's resist
ance. This makes a person more
susceptible to secondary infec
tions like pneumonia, which is one of
the five leading causes of death
among people over the age of 65.
MacCormack said flu is a viral
infection of the nose, throat, and
lungs which can be confused with the
common cold. Flu is normally ac
companied by a significant fever,
whereas a cold is often charac
terized primarily by nasal conges
tion.
“Most people can fight off the flu
with a few days in bed, additional
days of rest, aspirin and plenty of
liquids to drink,” MacCormack said.
"Because older citizens or people
with chronic diseases are more
prone to develop pneumonia or other
secondary infections, many doctors
recommend that these people get a
flu shot early in the fall.”
He noted that side effects may
result from the injection, such as a
low-grade fever or redness around
the infection, but the risks asso
ciated with flu and pneumonia are
greater than the dangers from the
side effects of the flu shot. In
addition, people who are allergic to
eggs might get some additional
reactions to the flu vaccine* be
cause they are made from egg
products. These people should check
with their doctors before getting a
flu shot.
MacCormack said the flu viruses
expected this year are A-Chile,
A-Philippines and B-USSR.
Flu shots are available through
private physicians and some local
health departments.
