DEBUNKING Flu Myths
What’s New with the Flu 2018
By Victoria Alexis/Access Health Louisiana’s Outreach Coordinator The Influenza virus, commonly known as the flu, had an estimated number of 49 million flu illnesses, with approximately 960,000 hospitalizations and little less than 80,000 flu related deaths last year according to the Centers for Disease Control. Pediatricians with Access Health Louisiana are debunking 5 common myths shared during flu season. Myth 1: I’m not getting a flu shot because you can catch the flu from the vaccine. You cannot catch the flu from the flu vaccine that is given in the Access Health Louisiana clinics. You may have arm soreness or low-grade fever for 24-48 hours after receiving the vaccine, but it will not cause “the flu”. Myth 2: I never get the flu. Getting a flu shot isn’t important. You should get a flu shot to protect yourself and to protect other people who are unable to get the flu but would become very sick if they were to get the flu (like young babies, seniors, or people who have certain medical conditions). Most of the people who die every year from complications of the flu did not receive their vaccine for that year. Myth 3: My child’s throat is sore, I’m sure it isn’t the flu because my family received flu shots. Remember it takes 2 weeks to be immunized after getting a flu shot, so it is possible to become infected with the virus during that open window. If you are concerned your child has flu or strep, it is always safest to have them examined by their doctor to make sure they are properly treated. Strep throat and flu have similar symptoms in children, such as high fever, headache, body aches and sore throat. The sore throat with strep throat tends to be worse than sore throat with flu. You typically do not have the following symptoms with strep throat: Coughing, Congestion, Runny nose, Nausea, Vomiting Myth 4: I don’t have insurance, so I can’t get a flu shot or medications if I have the flu. Vulnerable populations like children, pregnant women, elderly people who have certain medical conditions like diabetes or asthma, should NOT gamble with the chances of catching the flu due to their lack of ability to pay for health insurance or services. AHL can provide flu vaccines for you and your entire family regardless of insurance type or even if you don’t have insurance! If you believe you have flu like symptoms, we can provide testing for the flu in our clinics and provide appropriate treatment. As always, our medical staff is here to support you and your family and answer any questions you have. Myth 5: There aren’t any ways to stop the spread of the flu virus, especially with children. Hand washing, hand washing, hand washing! One of the best things we can all do to prevent the spread of germs and infections is to wash our hands. Also, teach your child how to cover his or her mouth when coughing. Do not share food or drinks with each other. If you are insured or uninsured, Access Health Louisiana Community Health Centers can provide high quality, easy and affordable health care this flu season. Visit one of our community health centers today to receive vaccination from our providers. To make an appointment, call 1-866-530-6111 or visit accesshealthla.org for the location nearest you.
