COURTESY PHOTO From left: Hunt Ramsey, David Chester and Rod Stowe Is the flu vaccination best for your child? Amy Johnson Broker, CSA 541 999-7875 Question: Every year, I ask myself if it’s in the best interest of my child to make sure they get a flu vaccine. Will it make my child sick? Will it actually protect them? According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), everyone age 6 months and older should get a yearly vac- cine against the influenza virus, commonly known as a “flu shot” or “flu vaccine.” Getting the vaccine is espe- cially important for those who are at high risk of having seri- ous flu-related complications, including young children, older adults, pregnant women and people with chronic medical conditions or disorders. 89406 Levage Drive – Wonder- ful .50 acre North Lakes lot.

COM /S IUSLAW N EWS s d a o R w e N g Findin The flu vaccine contains inactivated virus particles that cannot cause an actual influenza infection. However, it is rela- tively common for some chil- dren (or even adults) to feel achy or run a fever after receiv- ing the vaccine — a result of the immune system responding as it builds protection in the body. These minor symptoms last only a few days, and are much milder than full-blown influen- za, which may include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, fatigue and diarrhea and vomiting. Unfortunately, sometimes children do get infected with influenza even after receiving the vaccine. This is because par- ticular strains of the influenza virus that circulate every year are different, and although a great deal of effort is put into determining which strains are likely to be present during the upcoming season, sometimes we anticipate incorrectly and the vaccine is not a good match. It also takes about two weeks for the vaccine to fully take its protective effect, so if children are exposed during that time, they can still be infected. During “flu season,” which commonly peaks in January or February in the U.S., it is important for everyone to take additional steps to prevent infection. Make sure you cover any coughs or sneezes (with an arm or elbow), and practice good hand hygiene.

And if your child does get sick, keep him or her home from daycare or school to pre- vent the spread of infection — other parents and families will thank you. So, should you get a flu shot for your child? Absolutely. The flu shot isn’t a guarantee that your child won’t catch a strain of the flu, but it will cer- tainly help protect them and the community around them. 20% OFF G 2017 ALL REMAININ ALIBU’S CRUZE’S AND M SEE DEALER FO 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 R DETAILS. 2017 Cadillac ATS WATCH FO R BLACK FR IDAY DEALS!
