The influenza virus, in one i form or another never stops try ing, inis winter it may try a little harder. Having failed to make a really serious dent in the United States since 1957, when the A-2 strain made its debut, it has now been receiv ing advance press notices of a 1968-9 appearance in another new or altered form. i This nwe form of the A-2 strain appeared in Hong Kong 1 1 last summer, and mav dodge the effects of presently avail able vaccines. In the words of U. S. Public Health Service report, "Current vaccines may provide only limited protection against A2Hong Kong68." How do you recognize possi ble symptoms of flu? Many are I ike the symptoms of the com mon cold, only more so. There may be sore throat, nasal con gestion, dry cough, chills, fever, muscular aches. Temperature rises quickly. Complications could develop. such as bronchitis, pneumonia, sinus trouble, ear infection. But complications are the exception, not the rule. Best thing is to call a doctor if symptoms ap pear to be developing. For persons more vulnerable than the average, your tubercu losis ana respiratory disease as sociation recommends vaccina tion wirn current vaccines, even though the protection may be less than complete. Such per sons include those 45 years old or more; those with a chronic illness; patients in nursing homes or chronic disease hospi- , tals; and pregnant women. A new vaccine is on the way, but it will take time. When it does become available, let vour doc tor decide whether vou need it.
