Health Department
BY TERRY POPE
A record number of Brunswick
County residents may lie protected
against the flu this winter.
But health experts predict a third
of the suite's population will still get
some type of the influenza.
The Brunswick County Health
Department has administered 1,700
flu vaccine shots this season, but the
supply has run out. Nursing
Supervisor Nancy Lcggctt said
Friday.
Approximately 1,500 doses were
ordered by the department in June,
she said. When that supply quickly
depleted, more vaccines were or
dered.
"Two hundred is all the supplier
was able to get us," said Ms. Lcggctt.
"We won't be getting any more."
Last year, nurses gave about
1,300 flu shots, she said.
This year, nurses administered the
vaccine to residents at six clinics
held in different communities and
finished off the supply during gener
al clinic hours.
An early outbreak of the flu. that

try/western hit from the movie
Postcards From the Edge, "I'm
Cheeking Out."
The Miss Brunswick County
Scholarship Pageant is a preliminary
qualifier to the Miss America

Ms. Williams in the running for the
1992 Miss North Carolina Pageant.
Jennifer Smith, Miss North
Carolina 1991, attended the local
pageant, congratulating Ms. Wiliams
and giving a vocal performance of
Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Half A
Moment."
Runs Out Of Shots
had schools closing in Tennessee
last week, prompted numerous calls
to the Health Department from per
sons asking about the flu shots.
They were told to check with
their doctors to see if they needed or
would like to take the vaccine, said
Ms. Lcggcit.
"Some physicians still have vac
cines," she added. "As long as we
had it, we gave it."
Persons who should lake the vac
cine arc persons over 65 or with
chronic illnesses or high risk dis
eases.
The vaccination helps a person
develop antibodies that can protect
an individual for up to six months.
While it will not cure the flu, it can
protect against Type A Beijing, Type
A Taiwan and Type B Panama virus
es.
Health officials predict more lhan
2.5 million North Carolinians will
suffer from the flu this winter.
Brunswick County is not one of
the designated counties in the stale
where official statistics are kepi on
reported 11 u cases, said Ms. Lcggctt.
