WHAT'S NEW ABOUT FLU?
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.
