Flu vaccine available through Huron County.
Health Unit beginning Nov. 15 at community clinics
Starting the week of Nov 15, the
Huron County Health Unit will be
offering free flu shots at community
based clinics across the County.
Influenza, commonly called the
flu, is a highly contagious viral
infection. It causes sudden
fever,sore throat, dry cough,
headache, muscle aches and fatigue.
This year's vaccine will provide
protection against three strains of
the flu bug called A/New Caledonia,
A/Wisconsin 4nd B/Malaysia.
As with any vaccine, a shot doesn't
guarantee protection for everyone.
However, with a good match to the
flu bugs in the community, shots
usually work well.
About 70 to 90 per cent of healthy
children and adults will avoid get-
ting sick.
• You might still get influenza, but

vaccinated people usually find they
have very mild symptoms.
You might also get another, less
severe strain of flu that the vaccine
was not designed to protect against.
Did you know the flu can also
cause pneumonia and other compli-
cations that might put you in the
hospital?
Fortunately, there is also a vaccine
to protect you from a bug linked to
pneumonia.
Pneumococcal disease is caused by
bacterium called Streptococcus
pneumonia.
There are more than 90 different
types of this bug, :but onlya few of
them cause the most serious dis-
eases.
The pneumococcal _vaccine pro-
tects people against bacteria that
cause 94 per centof related disease
cases in Canada.
Pneumococcal disease is treated
with antibiotics, such as penicillin.
Recently, some strains of this bug
have become almost immune to reg-
ular antibiotics. This makes the
vaccine even more important in pre-
venting sickness.
This vaccine is recommended to
anyone over the age of 65.
It is also a good idea for children
over the age of five and others who
have chronic medical conditions.
These include spleen problems, sick-
le cell disease, cardiorespiratory dis-
ease, liver and kidney problems or
illnesses that harm the immune
system.
The pneumococcal vaccine is a one
time only shot. If you haven 't got
yours yet, ask - for it when you get
your flu shot this year.
The flu shot and the pneumococcal
shot are safe, effective ways to pro-
tect yourself, your family and your
friendsfrom getting sick.
Anyone over the age of six months
should consider getting a flu shot
each year.
Shots are free for people who live,
work or go to school in Ontario.

flu and the flu shot clinics, check

County into peak time
for car/deer collisions
Car/deer collisions are being
reported daily in Huron and Perth
Counties, the OPP reported.
Since Sept. 1, police in Perth
County have investigated 34 vehicle
collisions involving deer and one col-
lision involving a dog, and in Huron
County officers have investigated 52
collisions involving deer, one colli-
sion involving a wild turkey, two col-
lisions involving raccoons and two
collisions involving dogs.
Statistics show that on average
there is a motor vehicle/wild animal
collision every 38 minutes. And 94
per cent of those collisions occur on
two-lane roads in rural areas.
Peak times for the collisions are 5-
7 a.m. and 5-11 p.m.
Some tips are to scan the road
ahead from ditch to ditch and if you
see wildlife, slow down as they may
bolt across the road, and remember
a good rule of thumb is if you see
one deer there are usually more
right behind.
Watch for yellow wildlife warning
signs as there are increased risks in
those areas.
Stay in control of your vehicle,
never swerve suddenly, as this could
cause you to loose control. of your
vehicle.
Peak times for deer collisions are
between September and December
so please reduce your speeds and
drive carefully.
