What is the difference between a cold and influenza?
Colds are usually milder than the flu.People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose. A cold generally stays in the head.
Person with a cold can usually maintain normal activities.
Someone with flu will often feel too ill to do so.Slide10
Influenza is a serious illness Influenza occurs globally with an annual attack rate estimated at 5%–10% in adults and 20%–30% in children. Illnesses can result in hospitalization and death mainly among high-risk groups (the very young, elderly or chronically ill). Worldwide, these annual epidemics are estimated to result in about 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness, and about 250 000 to 500 000 deaths.

Slide12
Protect others through herd immunity Herd immunity is a form of immunity that occurs when the vaccination of a significant portion of a population (or herd) provides a measure of protection for individuals who have not developed immunity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brNscgAG3Nc
One minute medical school – Herd immunity Slide13
Did you know…… A recent research publication suggests that of the unvaccinated individuals who developed flu 75% did not have symptoms
you can spread the flu virus 24 hours prior to becoming sick yourself
Comparative community burden and severity of seasonal and pandemic influenza: results of the Flu Watch cohort study, The Lancet,
Vol
2, June 2014Slide14
What does this mean…..
You do not have to be sick to spread the flu virus but you could share the flu virus with a (Need updated pictures)Child, pregnant woman elder
friend patient
placing them at risk to develop the fluSlide15
What You Can Do…When you get your flu shot you begin to create herd immunity to protect those around you
Need new pictures: families
Flu seasons are unpredictable, therefore it is unknown if the 2014-2015 season will be severe.
Seasonal flu-related deaths have ranged from about 3,000 to 49,000 people in the United States. Slide16
The following slides contain a number of myths surrounding the flu vaccination.Slide17
Myth #1
The flu shot can make you sick.Slide18
Truth #1
The vaccine primarily used contains dead influenza viruses. Dead viruses can not make you sick.
Because the flu vaccine, like other vaccines, is not 100% effective, unfortunately those people got sick despite the flu vaccine, not because of it.
sick despite the flu shot, not because of it
Myth #1
The flu shot can make you sick.Slide19
Myth #2
The influenza vaccination causes severe reactions or side effects.Slide20
Truth #2
The influenza vaccine is safe. Most only have redness or soreness where the flu shot was given.
Other reactions following the flu shot are usually mild and can include a low grade fever and aches.
Myth #2
The influenza vaccination causes severe reactions or side effects.Slide21
Myth #3
The vaccine does not work.Slide22
Truth #3
When
there is a good match between the viruses causing disease and those in the vaccine, protection is excellent.
Vaccines are like seat belts: They are not perfect but they are the best protection we have against serious injury and death
.
While it is not as effective as many other popular vaccinations, it is not ineffective.
Myth #3
The vaccine does not work.Slide23
Myth #4
I never get the flu.Slide24
Truth #4
Even if you were immune to influenza strains circulating in the past, you may not be immune to new strains that emerge this season.
You may still get the flu but not show symptoms, infecting those around you.
The best way to help protect yourself from new influenza strains is to get vaccinated each fall.

Myth #4
I never get the flu.Slide25
Myth #5
It is too early to get a flu shot.Slide26
Truth #5
CDC recommends that vaccination begin as soon as vaccine becomes available.
While immunity can vary by person, previously published studies suggest that immunity lasts through a full flu season.

It is too early to get a flu shot.Slide27

By coming to work you expose your co-workers and our patients to the possibility of getting influenza.Slide41
That is correct!
“
And finally, to make it personal, if your infant daughter was admitted…… do you want the HCWs caring for her to be
un
immunized based on their fears and personal preference?”
Dr Gregory
Polland
– Mayo Clinic
Incorrect. Try again.
Why get vaccinated? Select the best answer.
Protect yourself
Protect your co-workers
Protect your family
Protect our patients
All of the aboveSlide42

CANNOT
cause the flu. The virus in the flu shot is a dead virus.
Seasonal flu vaccination protects you from upper respiratory flu; stomach flu is caused by another virus.Slide43
