Health Department continues low-cost flu shot campaign

Doctors know it by names such as
A/Beijing, A/Sydney, B/Beijing and B/Harbin.
Patients know it by the rotten feeling they have
when the virus invades their body flu.
According to Houston County Health
Department spokesperson Michelle Martin,
receiving your flu shot early may help prevent
you from being one of those patients this flu
season. •
“We will be giving shots until mid-
December,” she said. “But, the flu season will
be well on its way by December.”
It is better to receive the shot now, so that
your body will have time to build an immunity
to the virus before the season hits hard, she
added.
It takes about two weeks for the shot to
build the immunity to a good level, she said.
After that the shot will last for about four to six
months.
* People over the age of 65 are especially vul
nerable to the effects of the sickness, said
Martin. So are those with chronic health prob
lems.

Eugenia Nelle Davis
Services for Eugenia Nelle Davis, 64, who
died Oct. 8, 1998, were held Oct. 10 at Watson-
Hunt Chapel with the Rev. Winfred Huff offi
ciating. Burial was at Woodlawn Cemetery.
Bom in Adel, she was the daughter of the
late Glenn Harvey Duckworth Sr. and Bertha
Kennedy Duckworth of Perry. She had resided
here since 1951 moving from Tift County. She
was a homemaker and a member of Houston
Lake Baptist Church.
Survivors include her husband, Hamby
Gurdin Davis Sr. of Kathleen; daughters.
Shots are given to children down to the age
of two, she added.
Children who are taking the shot for the first
time are given a split dosage, two shots that are
30 days apart.
People who are allergic to eggs should not
take the shot as the serum used for the vaccine
is egg-based, said Martin.
“That is one of the questions we ask before
administering the shot,” she said.
The shot itself will not cause someone to
become sick, said Martin. “In the past, years
ago. the shot was made with a live virus. Now.
it is made with a killed virus that cannot give
you the flu."
The pneumonia vaccine that is also ottered
by the health department in conjunction with
the flu shots can cause a sore arm and perhaps
a small amount of fever, said Martin.
Nurses With the Houston County Health
Department will be at several different loca
tions during the next few weeks. People who
have walking difficulty can have someone
come inside and inform the nurse and the shot
will be administered while they sit in the car,
said Martin.
