Getting vaccinated is the single most effective way to avoid the flu, said Commissioner Auerbach. This year, we expect there will be more than enough flu vaccine to go around, and whats more, the vaccine may provide even better protection than in previous years.
Influenza vaccine is recommended for everyone who wants to avoid becoming ill with the flu. It is especially important for people in the following groups to be vaccinated:
o Children 6 months to 18 years of age.
o People 50 years of age and older.
o Pregnant women.
o Anyone with a chronic medical condition, such as asthma, diabetes and chronic medical conditions of the heart, lungs, kidneys, blood or immune system.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has expanded its recommendations for who should receive a flu shot. CDC now recommends that children aged 6 months all the way to 18 years of age should be vaccinated; in previous years, CDC recommended flu shots for children 6 months to 5 years old.
Vaccine production has gone smoothly this year. Up to 150 million doses of vaccine are expected to be available nationwide this year, with more than 2.2 million doses in Massachusetts alone. Of these 2.2 million, DPH will be providing more than 800,000 doses to support local flu
clinics -- 100,000 more than last year. The remaining 1.4 million doses have been privately purchased by health care providers


We might not only reduce the high costs of buying and burning these firecrackers, but also reduce the expenses incurred in the treatment and cure of asthma and other pollution related diseases including anxiety and heart problems, she said. She also urged the people to act reasonably and prove themselves to be better citizens.
