THE FLU.
This is how
Ontario's no-cost
flu protection
program
will work.

and
is
There could be an outbreak of flu in Ontario this winter. So
your Province is recommending vaccination against both
swine flu and Victoria flu for people age 65 and older, and
people age 20 and older who have certain chronic
illnesses such as diabetes, heart, lung or kidney disease.
We plan to vaccinate them with one inoculation before the
diseases strike — if they strike. There is no charge.
We are also offering no-cost swine flu vaccination to
other people age 20 and older who want to be vaccinated.
But no one will be required to accept vaccination— it is a
personal and voluntary decision.
What these flus are
Both flus are caused by contagious viruses that spread
directly from One person to another, just like the common
cold. (Swine flu is not caused by eating pork.)
Swine flu is suspected of being similar to the 1918-19 flu
which was responsible for the deaths of 20 million people
World-wide, including 45,000 Canadians. Victoria flu was
responsible for many deaths and illneSses as 'recently as
last winter.
Symptoms
The symptoms are usually fever, muscle aches,
headaches, chills and coughing. It takes one to three days
from the time the virus gets into your system until you Start
feeling ill. The flu lasts two to seven days. With severe!
infections, flu can kill. Swine flu can kill within 24 hours.
Ontario's no-cost vaccination program
To ward off these two fluS, Ontario's 44 local Medical
Officers of Health will administer a province-wide
vaccination program. Dates, places and times of clinics in
yoUr area willtbe announced.
Many of Ontario's 2,200 public health nurses will carry
out the actual Vaccinations. Some family physicians will be
vaccinating their own chronically-ill patientS. Your Ontario
Government pays all costs,
Vaccinations will be given with traditional needles or with
fast painless air spray injectors that shoot a light spray of
vaccine through the skin of the arm. The injector can
vaccinate 1,000 people an hour, and it has been used
safely for many years. Flu vaccination does not leave a
scar.
Possible side effects for those who should be
vaccinated
Most people will have no side effects from this vaccination.
Serious side effects are rare, but they can occur — as with
any vaccination. Minor side effects can include a sore arm,
headache, fever and muscle aches, lasting one or two
days. If these minor symptoms persist, contact your -
doctor. Protection through vaccination starts in about three
weeks and will probably last a year or more.'" •
Who should NOT be vaccinated
If you are allergic to chicken eggs,'chicken or chicken
feathers, don't be vaccinated at all, because the vaccine is
made from chicken eggs and can cause a severe reaction.
If you have fever, acute respiratory or other active
infections, don't be vaccinated while you are ill. No one
should be vaccinated for swine flu within 14 days before.or
after any other vaccination°. -
Flu vaccine will protect 80 to 90 per cent of those
vaccinated — but there is no drug or antibiotic to cure flu,
so*vaccination is desirable.
For further information about the flu vaccination program,
contact your local public health unit.
