Health officials urge folks to get vaccines Mason County public health officials are urging residents to get flu shots. The officials note that during the holiday season, as crowds in malls and other public places increase, so does one's risk of ex- posure to germs such as the in- fluenza virus. One way fblks can decrease the potential of' getting the flu this season is by getting vaccinated. The National Centers for Dis- ease Control has also announced the second annual National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW), taking place Novem- ber 26 to December 2. As part of the CDC's and local health de- partments' continuous efforts to promote timely flu vaccination, NIVW serves to remind people who have not yet been vaccinated that the time to get a flu vaccine continues into winter - through January or later, when the in- fluenza season typically peaks. Flu immunization rates are low for children and adults. Wash- ington rates are 22.8 percent for young children and 72.4 percent for adults over age 65 -- slightly above the national average but below national and state goals of 90 percent. IN WASHINGTON, flu season usually peaks in January or later so getting vaccinated now helps prevent flu throughout the sea- son. Officials say that everyone can benefit from a flu shot; how- ever, it's crucial for many people who are at high risk for complica- tions. This includes anyone over 50, children 6 months to 5 years old, and children and adults with chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease. Also at high risk, are pregnant women and residents of nursing homes or long-term care facilities. Getting a flu shot protects you, your friends and thmily, so anyone who lives with or cares fbr a high-risk adult or child younger than 5 years old should also get a flu shot. Flu vaccine is still available in the community. Check with lo- cal providers or call the Mason County Flu line at 360-427-9670, extension 599 on how to get your flu shot. • Bark (U-haul) • River Rock • 25 Ibs. to 1000 Ibs. • Topsoil • Compost • Cedar and Alder Chi : Lc0000es& C Elmo's Adult Books Getting outside: Tons of opportunities , 00/°`nus[°raday°[[un * Get your Christmas shopping done early for hunting and fishing ' /:£ * A chance to meet friends and neighbors '  (Formerly ,.,,yn ,,n) ! marine areas of Puget Sound '.
