How well do you know the people
on your team - whether it be your
family team, farm team, sport team
or other team?
We all know that we’re unique
and that we all have a variety of
qualities. Some teams blend or
mesh better than others. Why? Are
you task oriented or people orient
ed? Who will you best work with?
How can you change some aspects
of yourself to better work with

Immunization
provides
protection
Every year in Canada, many
people die of influenza or what is
commonly called the flu. It is
particularly dangerous to those in
high risk categories, including
anyone over 65, and those with
diabetes or other chronic medical
conditions. These deaths need not
occur. Immunization with flue vac
cine in September or October can
provide protection.
Influenza is an extremely conta
gious respiratory disease which
spreads in epidemic force every
winter. Although other viruses like
the common cold may cause similar
symptoms, true influenza can be
life threatening. The real danger
with flu is the complications that
can arise when the body’s resis
tance is weakened. Bacterial
pneumonia is the most common
complication and is particularly
dangerous in the elderly. Viral
pneumonia, kidney failure, and
nervous system disorders can
prove fatal as well.
Influenza can be prevented. Flu
vaccine provides a safe and effec
tive method of protecting those
people at greatest risk, and can
provide up to 90 per cent protection
against true influenza. However, it
won’t protect you from the common
cold or any of those other viruses
that have symptoms similar to
influenza. So if you want to avoid
the flu this year then a visit to your
doctor in September or October for
an annual flue vaccination is the
way to play it safe.
If you or someone you know is
over 65 or has a chronic medical
condition, consider getting a flu
shot. It could save a life!
