Flu shots available now
BY DEB KILGORE
Although flu season starts during
Christmas vacation. Dr. Claude B.
Goswick, director of Beutel Health
Center, suggests students take flu
shots now at the health center.
‘It takes six weeks to develop
immunity after receiving the llu
shot, so anytime before Christmas
would be a good time to take it,
Goswick said recently. “The im
munity lasts six months, so one shot
is enough for the school year.
If enough students take shots
this fall, we might be able to pre
vent an outbreak of flu this spring,’
he said. “When students return
from Christmas holidays they bring
flutoA&M, and when spring break
comes they take it home.
Despite the possibility of prevent
ing a flu outbreak, Goswick said
there will be no flu prevention pro
gram this year because of the unfa
vorable reaction to tbe swine flu
program last year.
Flu is any respiratory or intestinal
infection caused by a virus. How
ever, Goswick said respiratory flu is
the type afflicting most students.
Respiratory flu is airborne and
can be contracted by contact with
someone who has it. It causes fever,
aches and pains in the joints,
headaches, coughing, congestion
and a general blah feeling,” Goswick
said.
Flu usually lasts three to five
days, Goswick said, and no
medicine is effective after getting
the virus. Like all viruses, flu runs a
certain course.
Time and rest is the only treat
ment. Going to bed the first day of
sickness, taking aspirin and drinking
fluids are the best ways to recover,
Goswick adds.
“If you don’t feel better after
three days, then we prescribe an
tibiotics, Goswick said. “However,
they are only good for the bacterial
infections which often accompany a
virus. People mistakenly believe
that antibiotics cure flu.
“It’s important to get well be
cause pneumonia can follow flu if
you aren’t careful.”
Goswick says flu shots are effec
tive in preventing viruses but do not
give 100 percent immunity because
the many changing strains of the
viruses make difficult to predict
which strain will afflict people.
“The Food and Drug Administra
tion (FDA) governs what strains will
be put into the vaccine each year.
By the time we get the flu vaccine,
it’s about a year old,” Goswick said.
The shot itself can cause some
fever and a headache.
“If you have a cold or the flu, it’s
not a good idea to take the shot. It
might aggravate your symptoms a
little,” Goswick said. “In addition,
people allergic to eggs, feathers and
chickens shouldn’t be given the shot
since the vaccine is grown on eggs.
Only if they are given a skin test for
eggs and have no reaction, can they
take the shot.”
However, those on the basketball
team not susceptible to those aller
gies are required by the coach to
take the vaccine since basketball is
during flu season, Goswick said.
Food service workers are also
encouraged to take the vaccine.
Goswick says taking a flu shot and
avoiding people with flu are the only
precautions against it, Goswick said.
People’s resistance to viruses varies,
making it impossible to tell if he or
she will contract flu.
Goswick said there is also no way
to tell how many students contract
flu each year since many do not
come to the health center.
