State Health Board Recommends
Shota For Asian Flu Defense
You'd better get your annual
flu shots and take special care of
your health during the next few
weeks
That was the advice Friday of
the state board of health after the
department’s disease control ex
perts had finished reviewing in
fluenza reports from Oregon and
the rest of the nation.
Although reported Oregon in
fluenza increased 28.5 per cent
last week, from 617 to 793 cases,
the disease still is "about at nor
mal seasonal levels,” according to
the health board.
None of the reports so far in
dicate that the epidemic which
has struck an estimated half-mil
lion persons in the Los Angeles
area the past few days has yet

moved into Oregon.
However, Dr. Richard H. Wil-
cox, state health officer, warned
that there is "a strong possibility”
that the disease could become epi
demic here within the next few
weeks. Flu outbreaks have been
noted recently in several other
parts of the country, and Dr. Wil
cox said the flu virus could be
transported quickly to all parts
of Oregon by travelers.
(The U. S. Public Health Ser
vice already has attributed sever
al of the outbreaks to Asian influ
enza, the same disease given most
of the blame for Oregon's epi
demic of more than 47,000 cases
two years ago.
Flu shots were recommended as
the best defense against the dis
ease, and Dr. Wilcox especially
urged them for the very young or
old persons, pregnant women, or
persons already weakened by
some other illness.
One shot gives protection to
most older children and adults,
although the health officer re
commended a second shot three
to four months after the first.
The immunity does not carry over
from one year to another, and the
shots do not become effective
until 10-14 days after vaccina
tion.
Dr. Wilcox also recommended
maintenance of good personal
health habits, including plenty of
rest, a well-balanced diet, clean
liness. and avoidance of fatigue
and chilling.
Because influenza is dangerous
chiefly as a result of secondary
infections such as pneumonia, the
health officer urged that anyone
becoming ill with suspected flu
call a physician promptly.
Symptoms of Asian flu are the
same as those of other types. They
include sudden onset of illness,
often similar to a severe cold, fev
er up to 104 degrees, chills, sore
throat, cough and muscular aches

The state health board labora
tory has received “only a few”
specimens for flu examination
during recent weeks, Dr Wilcox
said, so it is considered possible
many of the Oregon cases being
reported as influenza actually
may be some other disease. The
next group of tests is expected to
be completed by the laboratory
early next week
