CDC: Get a Flu Shot This Year

0

FILE PHOTO: Vaccination

More than one-third of United States residents have already been vaccinated against the influenza virus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Monday. With National Influenza Vaccination Week, which started last Sunday and ends Saturday, health officials aim to increase that percentage, especially since this year's season may be a bad one.

Influenza—more commonly known as simply "the flu"—is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses infecting the nose, throat and lungs. It spreads via infected people coughing, sneezing or talking, though people can also get infected by touching something with the flu virus on it before touching their mouth, eyes or nose.

The 2012-2013 season is shaping up to be one of the worst flu seasons in a while, officials from the CDC said in a teleconference Monday. There have been a larger number of suspected flu cases than usual in five Southern states, and this year's strain may be more virulent. Already, two children have died of the illness.

A similar flu virus struck during the 2003-2004 season, killing more than 48,000 people in one of the most lethal seasons in the past 35 years. Nevertheless, this year's vaccination appears to be better matched to the virus.

"It looks like it's shaping up to be a bad flu season, but only time will tell," CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said.

So far, California and surrounding states have not reported regional or widespread flu activity; however, a jump in the number of influenza cases usually doesn't occur until after Christmas.

“Flu season typically peaks in February and can last as late as May,” Dr. Anne Schuchat, Assistant Surgeon General of the U.S. Public Health Service and Director of CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said in a news release. “We are encouraging people who have not yet been vaccinated to get vaccinated now.”

More than 200,000 people each year are hospitalized due to complications from the flu, according to the CDC.

Symptoms of the flu include muscle or body aches, headaches, cough, sore throat, fatigue, fever or chills, and vomiting and diarrhea (the latter two are more common in kids). The flu can also worsen chronic medical conditions or cause death.

People are contagious a day before symptoms appear and up to a week after getting sick.

The CDC recommends getting annual vaccines as early as possible, as it takes a few weeks to reach full immunity.

Vaccines often cost $20-$30; however, they are often covered by insurance.

Where can you get a flu shot in Barnstable?

Information on flu shots:

Flu shots are an inactivated vaccine made from killed virus, which means it’s impossible to get the flu from the vaccine, according to Dr. Angela Rasmussen, an infectious disease expert.

There are currently three flu shots being produced in the U.S.: the regular (intramuscular) seasonal flu shot, a high-dose vaccine for people 65 and older, and an intradermal (injected into the skin) vaccine for people ages 18 to 64.

In addition, a nasal-spray flu vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses (which also do not cause the flu) is available to healthy people ages 2 to 49 years old, except pregnant women.

The most common side effect from a flu shot is soreness at the injection site.

Even those who think they don't need a flu shot should get one anyway, according to Jack Cantlin, a pharmacist and the divisional vice president of retail clinical services at Walgreens. It's possible to contract the virus and carry it without being sick.

The elderly, young children, pregnant women and nursing home residents are at greater risk for serious complications from the flu. People with chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and chronic lung disease—as well as those who work with them—are also at risk.

“People at high risk should talk with their doctor about getting a high-dose 
flu shot, as this can provide better protection for people with immune
 systems that have been weakened by age or other medical conditions,” Rasmussen said.

People with severe chicken egg allergies, a history of Guillain-Barré syndrome, and those who have had a severe reaction to a flu vaccine in the past should consult their doctor before getting a flu shot, and those who have a moderate or severe illness with a fever should wait to get vaccinated until they are well. Babies under six months of age should not get a flu shot.

Trader Joe's Recalls Frozen Chicken and Rice Meal

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service on Monday announced that Aliya’s Foods Limited, one of Trader Joe's producers, will recall boxes of the "Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice” line.

Trader Joe's has voluntarily recalled a batch of one of its frozen chicken and rice meals from store shelves in 14 states, including Massachusetts, due to possible listeria contamination.

The neighborhood grocer announced over the weekend it was alerted by its supplier that some Trader Joe's Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice meals may be affected. The products in question are: sku 99032 with a production date of "305 12" and come in 12.5-ounce packages.

"In accordance with our stringent health and safety standards, and out of the utmost caution and care for our customers, all code dates of this product have been removed from sale and destroyed. To date, we have received no reports of illness related to this product," said Trader Joe's in a statement.

Customers who did purchase the item are urged to throw it away or return it to any Trader Joe's store for a full refund.

Food Safety News reports that the recall, originally initiated by Aliya's Foods Limited of Canada, involves nearly 5,000 pounds of the product and is being overseen by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the U.S Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

Questions can be directed to Trader Joe's Customer Relations at 626-599-3817, Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

The USDA says: "Consumption of food contaminated with listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems and pregnant women and their newborns."

Listeriosis can cause fever, headache, neck stiffness and muscle aches, preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms, along with more serious side affects in some cases, according to the USDA.

Thousands of Massachusetts Families Would Be Affected by Federal 'Fiscal Cliff'

0
0

More than half a million Massachusetts families will pay more in taxes if the federal government doesn't reach an agreement on the tax code by the end of the year, a study reported in the Boston Globe found.

The child tax credit is set to expire if Congress doesn't reach a deal. The tax credit affects 562,000 lower- and middle-class familes, currently saving each about $1,000 a year.

Another group of tax credits set to expire includes college tuition credits, an increase that would affect 217,000 families, according to the story.

Small businesses would be affected if the federal government falls off the "fiscal cliff," too. If no deal is brokered, next year these businesses will only be able to claim $25,000 in deductions on new investments instead of the $250,000 deduction they now enjoy.

Yo Momma’s So Fat, But Even She Can't Fit Around The Rotary

0
0

We were blissfully unaware, taking our walks in the sweet fragrant air, in whatever season. Even on our most casual errands, we beheld beauty on all sides – on the way to the supermarket, a saltwater inlet to the right, Nantucket Sound to the left, on the drive home from Menemsha, an ancient stone wall bounded by open fields and, in the distance, a doe and Bambi.

Then . . . in a room somewhere, under fluorescent lights, town officials began to play with an idea for a quaint-sounding “roundabout” that would ease drivers through an intersection that sometimes jams up in the summer. And in another fluorescent-lit room in our capital city, state officials began to assemble suitcases of money.

Beware government dollars. They come with a price. The price in this case is an offer to build a charming-sounding “roundabout,” but no effort has been made to design one befitting our Island’s scenic qualities. Oh no. Someone opened a file cabinet and pulled out a blueprint for, I'm guessing, a recent beaut of a rotary constructed in, oh, let’s say Pawtucket (with apologies to citizens of Pawtucket, it’s just a funny name and, from what I gather, a bit of an industrial eyesore in places such as the spot where this hypothetical rotary was popped in).

H. L. Mencken said it best. In the early 1920s, on the train ride from New York to Philly which whisked him past warehouses, billboards, dilapidated buildings, and feed lots, he wrote, “Americans have a positive libido for the ugly.”

Meanwhile. our town officials who have made this jolly “roundabout” their baby, and our Martha’s Vineyard Commissioners who are supposed to protect us from aesthetic horrors, and certainly the state engineers, all of these guys and gals possess this above-mentioned libido aplenty, so much so that I’m wondering what Sigmund Freud would have surmised about misdirected sexual energies.  

But I digress.

So here we are, euphoric for having grown up here or moved to this edenic place. We’re thrilled, most of us, to live free from strip malls and McDonalds and massive highway structures. Some of us spin sugarplum visions of turning our island into a place where pedestrian malls can flourish, and bike lanes grace the streets, and where travelers feel free and delighted to visit without their cars.

A year or so ago, we got a peek in the papers at the grand design. 

I realize I exaggerate. I dramatize. But here’s my description of the roundabout, hereinafter known as the rotary: It looks like it could land a 747, as long as that jumbo jet, as it hits the tarmac, twirls in a pretzel pattern. Meandering concrete walls could accommodate all the Island’s avid roller-bladers in the ten months that this monolith stands empty. In the center spaces, landscapers are providing us with garden plots so trim and municipal-looking that Polly Hill, rest her precious soul, would take one look at them and be reminded not of her arboretum’s acres, but of her Falmouth periodentist’s courtyard where he and his assistants nip out to grab a smoke.

I feel like Cassandra howling at the gods for sending a 10-story-high wooden horse to the gates of Troy, and having those nincompoops take it in.

How did this happen?               

Last spring 75% of town voters said, basically about the proposed rotary: shudder the thought. All voters, that is to say, except those of Oak Bluffs. No, in O.B., where this lovely idea was hatched, the selectmen comported themselves like strongmen in a Soviet bloc country circa 1970. They ix-nayed the rotary question on the town ballot. Why? Well, it really didn't matter how our opinions shook out: A big whacking majority of the rest of the island had already expressed a big fat "NO" to the project, but those few people with their fingers on this button are mad to press it.              

What can we do?

Many of us may have protested stuff back in the day, but we long ago hung up our spurs, and we’re here on the Vineyard to be kind to each other, or at the very least, civil, and to breathe in the beauty. We'd also love to go on dreaming the dream that thousands of ton of concrete and rebar and big glops of something resembling pink slime in hamburger meat set in clear plastic, could never be imposed on us.

But it is being imposed, like it or not. It’s official. It’s coming. The woman whose property is being seized by that dubious, even nefarious law of imminent domain is taking the land grab to court. This might give us a stay of execution. Execution of our sense and sensibility.

But, I fear, my friends, it will happen.

Unless . . . unless we can pull together an island-wide protest. Unless anyone has a better idea (and most people do), may I suggest we gather at the Blinking Lights at noon on December 26th, Boxing Day, as Lord Grantham would call it. Bring your left-over egg nog and Aunt Cici’s cookies, and bring Aunt Cici too, and Grandma and the kids and the dogs. Let’s fill up that intersection amid surrounding woods as far as the eye can see. We can hold up signs such as “WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ STATE DOLLARS” and “WHAT’S WRONG WITH A SIMPLE STOP-LIGHT WITH AN OFF SWITCH FOR THE WINTER?”

I’ll be there. December 26, my homies. Even if it’s just me and my own silly sign, and maybe my silly dog. But if you’re not joining me, can you drop off Aunt Cici’s cookies anyway?

TELL US: Should Massachusetts Gun Control Laws be Loosened?

0
0
Some believe assault rifles shouldn't be legal.

Way too much red tape.

That's the complaint of the Gun Owners’ Action League of Massachusetts, a group that is urging passage of a law that would abolish the requirement of having to renew a gun permit every six years, according to the Boston Herald.

For comparison, Massachusetts vehicle drivers' licenses need to be renewed every five years.

But the league says local police cannot keep up with timely gun permit renewals, and legitimate gunowners go license-less until the cops get time to do the paperwork. 

The law now allows 40 days for turning around license applications.

In Boston, almost 1,000 people have applied for gun permits so far this year, with waits running about 10 weeks, the Herald quotes police spokeswoman Cheryl Fiandaca as saying.

The gun owners group is lobbying for a return to lifetime licenses; that a license gets pulled only if laws are broken, according to the Herald story. 

The six-year gun permitting is part of a law passed in 1998 that resulted in Massachusetts having among the strictest gun control laws in the U.S.

According to a gun control lobbying group, the Violence Policy Center, Massachusetts also has the lowest gun death rate in the nation.

But still, the law requires a 40-day turnaround.

So what do you think is the right course of action: return to the days of life-long gun licenses and make life easier for both harried cops and law-abiding gunowners?

Lengthen the license turnaround time and not hold the gunowner accountable if she or he uses the gun during that turnaround time?

Keep the pressure on and keep things as they are, to stifle the easy use of guns?

Tell us what you think in the comments section below.

Engine Fires Ignite Ford Escape, Fusion Recalls

0
0

The 2013 Ford Escape is undergoing its fourth recall since its introduction this spring.

Ford Motor Co. is recalling more than 89,000 new Escape SUVs and Fusion sedans because the engines can overheat and cause fires.

The Escape is a top seller for Ford. The 2013 version went on sale in the spring, and it already has had problems with coolant leaks, cracked fuel lines and carpet padding.

Both the Fusion and Escape are among Ford's top-selling vehicles selling a combined 427,000 already this year, according to Autodata Corp. Note this figure includes those from the previous model year.

Ford said it is working on a repair plan and trying to find out what causes the overheating problem, where the engines can overheat and leak fluids onto hot parts, causing fires.

What Should Owners Do?

The company is asking owners to contact dealers, who will arrange for loaner cars at no charge until the repairs are made.

"It is important that affected customers not ignore this recall and contact their dealer as soon as possible," Steve Kenner, director of Ford's Automotive Safety Office, said in the statement.

The recall affects vehicles from the 2013 model year with 1.6-liter turbocharged engines that were sold in the U.S. and Canada, the company said in a statement.

The cars can still be driven, but owners whose dashboard warning lights illuminate should pull off the road, turn off the engine and leave the vehicle, the company said.

Escape and Fusion owners can find out more about the recall by going to Ford's website. If you are unsure if this affects you, enter your Vehicle Identification Number here to find out. You can also call Ford at 866-436-7332 in the U.S. or 888-222-7814 in Canada, Ford said in a statement.

Recall Details

The recall affects Fusions and Escapes with "SE" and "SEL" packages. Models with different engines don't have the problem and are not involved in the recall. About 73,000 Escapes and 16,000 Fusions are affected, according to the compnay.

Previous Recalls

In September the company recalled 7,600 new Escapes to fix coolant leaks that can cause engines to overheat or catch fire. Plugs in the engine may not have been installed properly and can fall out while the motor is running. Coolant can leak and cause engines to overheat.

In July, the company recalled 11,500 Escapes to fix fuel lines that can crack, leak and cause fires.

In the same month Ford recalled more than 10,000 of the vehicles to fix carpet padding that can interfere with braking.
