Flu Can Be Serious The first snow or ice storm calls to mind long dreary days of gray weather and that shut in feeling, or if you're among the more fortunate, the win ter months stir the urge to tra vel to a sunnier climate for a vacation. Unfortunately for most of us in North Carolina, winter only conjures up visions of the dreary days, icy winds, snow drifts to be shoveled and of course, influenza. Since persons with heart or circulatory problems are more likely to be seriously affected than others if they develop the flu, the North Carolina Heart Association together with the American Heart Association recommends that those persons check with their physician as early as feasible about the ad visability of vaccination. Projected totals for, 1970 from the American Heart As sociation indicate that 24,500 people in North Carolina will die from cardiovascular di - sease. This figure is 53 per cent of the entire amount of individuals who will die in the state this year. The Public Health Service has noted that until good pro tection is provided consistent ly by influenza vaccine, it is not recommended for healthy adults and children only for those persons of airy age witH chronic debilitation conditions These include: . Rheumatic heart pecially mitral stenosis ( a narrowing of the valve opening . Coronary heart disease and high blood pressure,particular ly with evidence of inability of the heart to perform its function properly. . Asthma, chronic bronchi tis, cystic fibrosis, btonchiec - tasis, pulmonary fibrosis, pul monary emphesema and ad - vanced pulmonary tuberctiloa& . Diabetes mellitus or Ad - dison disease. . Older persons, who may have incipient or potential chronic cardiovascular and bronchopulmonary disorders , also should be considered can didates for vaccination. Flu vaccine is administered in two doses, about two months apart, the American Heart Association notes. However, the interval can be reduced if an epidemic threatens. Those vaccinated within the past two years need only one booster dose.
