"Reports of flu are coming in from lots of states in the south, so it's on its way up here. I expect the next month or two to be the worst for flu. We ordered 400 vaccines this year, and we have 65 normal vaccines and 30 intradermal vaccines left," she said. "Of course, we can always order more if we run out."

"To prevent the flu, you can wash your hands, avoid touching your face and get the vaccine," said Pike County Health Department nurse Amy Gladish. "If you get the flu, one of the best things you can do is stay home. Don't spread it to your friends and co-workers."

PEACE of MIND vaccination. A report from the Indiana State Department of Health stated that "older people, young children, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions" are at the highest risk for complications from flu, and Gladish encouraged anyone who is at risk to get the vaccine. "The vaccines we have are a pretty good match to the bug that's been circulating," she said. "That means the vaccine will be more effective than usual, since sometimes it doesn't match the actual flu strain very well." Gladish also noted that the stomach flu, which has been going around lately: • is not influenza, • will not be prevented by The Family of May Dawson wants to thank friends, family and neighbors for the prayers, food and visits during Mom's illness.
