(Elyse DeBruyn photo) It was a big season-opening loss for the Brussels Novices when they hosted a strong Seaforth squad Friday night. Despite a solid team effort and strong defence by Anthony Vader Starting the week of October 25th, the Huron County Health Unit is offering free flu shots at school and community-based clinics across the county. The flu shot program was launched on Monday, Oct. 25 at Wingham Public School, at the first school-based clinic in Huron County for this year. The school- based clinics make it easier for parents to ensure that their children get the flu shot; parents don't have to take a day off work to take their children out of school for a trip to the doctor's office. For those families without a family physician. school-based clinics are a safe, simple alternative. The health unit strongly recommends the flu shot for people over six months of age every year. "The flu virus spreads very easily .in the school environment", said Dr. Beth Henning, medical officer of health. "Every year healthy, school- aged children suffer significant flu- related illness." The flu shot can prevent flu- related illness and has also been shown to reduce severe ear infections in young children by up to 36 per cent. Henning explains that children, by their nature and their habits, are very effective at spreading the flu virus to their classmates, their teachers. and members of their tamily. Research has proven that vaccinating school-aged children significantly decreases the spread of tlu in the community. Thc flu hit children particularly and Reece McArter the team fell 12- 2. Josh Bridge had a busy night between the pipes. Brock McLean, with an assist from Lexi Smith scored in the first to. end the penod in a tie. hard in the 2003/04 season. The A/Fujian flu circulated last year, causing serious illness and many more deaths than usual in Ontario and elsewhere in North America. All indications are that the A/Fujian strain will circulate again this year. Although the vaccine offered some protection last year, this year's flu vaccine is expected to be more effective as it is well-matched with A/Fujian. The vaccine will also provide protection against the New Caledonia, B/Shanghai strains. A flu vaccination is normally 70 to 90 per cent effective in preventing the flu in healthy adults, and about 70 per cent effective in preventing flu with fever in children. The flu shot is beneficial for healthy adults too; a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2000) showed that healthy adults who got the flu shot reported 43 per cent fewer days of The Brussels Midgets hit home ice on Oct. 24 for what turned out to be a tight contest.
