WITH KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL
AND CHILLIER WEATHER SETTING
IN, IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE IT
WILL BE FLU SEASON.
YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO
PREPARE FOR IT.
WE HAVE A PEDIATRICIAN HERE TO
TALK ABOUT TRUTHS AND MYTHS.
WE JUST WANT BE EVERYBODY TO BE
HEALTHY, RIGHT?
FLU SHOTS ARE ARE SO IMPORTANT.
LET'S START WITH THESE MYTHS
ABOUT THE FLU.
SO THE FIRST IS THAT IT'S
TOO EARLY FOR KIDS TO GET THEIR
FLU SHOT.
AND THE TRUTH IS THAT TORE
KIDS, THEY MAKE A REALLY ROBUST
AND HEALTHY IMMUNE RESPONSE TO
GETTING THE INFLUENCE OF
VACCINE.
SO IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO GET IT,000, NO WORRIES, GO
AHEAD.
IT WILL PROTECT THEM THE ENTIRE
SEASON.
ONE OF THE MYTHS I'VE HEARD
IS YOU GET SICK WHEN YOU GET
THE FLU SHOT, WITHIN THE FIRST
COUPLE OF DAYS.
EXACTLY.
FIRST OF ALL, IT'S NOT TRUE.
SO THE FRANCE OF VACCINE, THE
SHOT IS A HEAT-KILLED VIRUS, SO
YOU DO NOT GET ANYTHING FROM IT
AT ALL.
IT CREATES AN IMMUNE RESPONSE.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST GET
SICK.
IT'S A COINCIDENTAL THING.
EXACTLY.
ANYTIME YOU'RE CREATING THAT
IMMUNE RESPONSE, YOU'RE GOING
TO GET SOME ACHY'S, AND MAYBE
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE BEING
SENSITIVE TO, BUT IT DOESN'T
GIVE YOU INFLUENZA.
A LITTLE DIFFERENT FLU SHOT
RECOMMENDATION FOR KIDS THIS
YEAR, RIGHT?
YES.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE DO NOT HAVE
INFLUENZA BE, THE MISTHIS YEAR,
WHICH EVERY CHILD GROWN-UP AND
PEDIATRICIAN LOVES, SO WE DO
WANT IT BACK FOR NEXT YEAR, AND
WE'RE HOPING THAT OVER THE
COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW YEARS
WE'LL BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT
THAT DOES COME BACK, BUT IT
ONLY HAD ABOUT 3% PROTECTION,
WAS WHAT THE --
WHICH IS BETTER THAN ZERO,
BUT NOT MUCH.
YEAH, NOT REALLY AT ALL.
NOT ENOUGH TO RECOMMEND IT AT
ALL.
NOT ENOUGH FOR -- TO COUNTER ON
IT.
SO YOU MENTIONED NOT TOO
EARLY.
NOT TO EARLY.
WHEN IS THE PRIME TIME?
IT IS PRIME TIME NOW.
OH, REALLY?
ALL RIGHT, WITH KIDS COMING
BACK TO SCHOOL, WE'RE SEEING A
SURGE OF KIDS COMING INTO OUR
CLINICS COUGHING AND ILL.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE
HEALTHY ENOUGH TO MAKETH
THROUGH THE FULL SEASON.
THE TRUTH IS, YOU CAN STILL
GET THE FLU IF YOU HAVE THE FLU
SHOT.
RIGHT.
SOOTHE MYTH WOULD BE THAT IT
PROTECTS YOU COMPLETELY.
THAT IS NOT TRUE.
IF YOU DO ACQUIRE INFLUENZA, IT
WILL ABATE YOUR RESPONSE, SO
YOU WILL NOT HAVE HOPEFULLY A
SIGNIFICANT ILLNESS ASSOCIATED
WITH IT.
YOU MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
AN ILLNESS.
THE OTHER SMITH THAT IT DOESN'T
PROTECT YOU A-- THE OTHER MYTH
IS THAT IT DOESN'T PROTECT YOU
AGAINST THE COMMON COLD.
THIS SEASONAL FOR THE INFLUENZA
VIRUS.
IF YOU OR A FAMILY MEMBER
GET THE FLU, WHAT IS YOUR BEST
ADVICE?
IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE
INFLUENZA, OR IS THROAT, REALLY
HIGH FEVER, SHAKING CHILLS.
YOU FEEL AWFUL, LIKE YOU'VE
BEEN HIT BAY TRUCK, YOU WANT TO
CALL IN PRETTY QUICKLY, BECAUSE
THERE ARE BOW TENTIALLY
MEDICATIONS OR TREATMENTS THAT
WE MIGHT CONSIDER FOR YOU OR
YOUR FAMILY, BUT OTHERWISE
REST, GET PLENTY OF LATITUDES.
TOO MEDICATIONS TO TRY TO
CONTROL YOUR FIVER AND DO NOT
EX-POSSESSION OTHERS, SO STAY
AT HOME.
LET'S GIVE KYLIE THE SHOT.
LY DO IT DURING WEATHER.
KYLIE HAS A LITTLE -- YOU PUT A
LITTLE NUMBING ON THERE.
RIGHT.
SO AT CHILDREN'S, WE'RE
OFFERING THE COMFORT PROMISE,
AND PART OF THAT IS A LITTLE
BIT OF NUMBING CREAM.
A LITTLE BIT OF THAT NUMBING
CREAM.
ALL RIGHT.
TO SEE IF IT WILL HOPEFULLY
PREVENT YOU FROM BEING --
I'M JUST LOOK THIS WAY.
I'M NOT AFRAID OF NEEDLES, BUT
I DON'T REALLY LIKE THEM.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY NORMAL.
SO YOU PUT THE NUMBING CREAM
ON, WHICH HOPEFULLY SHOULD MAKE
THAT KIND OF PRICK OF THE
NEEDLE A LITTLE LESS.
RIGHT.
AND IT DOES NEED TO BE IN
PLACE.
JUST GOING TO MOVE YOUR HAIR.
FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, JUST TO
ENSURE THAT IT IS EVERYBODY
BIVELY WORKING.
JUST TO LET OUR VIEWERS
KNOW, IF YOU'RE QUEASY ABOUT
SEEING A NEEDLE, JUST TURN AWAY
RIGHT NOW.
IT'S NOT HELPFUL WHEN YOU'RE
TRYING TO AVOID SEEING IT, AND
THERE ARE MONITORS EVERYWHERE.
ACTUALLY IT'S DONE ALREADY.
ACTUALLY THAT WAS NOT BAD.
THAT'S BETTER WITH THE NUMBING
CREAM.
ALL RIGHT.
I FEEL GOOD.
NOW I'M PROTECTED, TOO.
I BARELY FELT THE PRICK.
GOOD.
SO KYLIE IS GOING TO DO THE
WEATHER, AND I'LL GO PUT
