County says " ripe for flu shots Mason County Public Health is urging people to give them a call on the occasion of National Influ- enza Vaccination Week, which runs through December 2. Public health officials make the point that as crowds in malls and other public places increase during the holiday season, so does the risk of exposure to the influenza virus and other germs. They say vaccina- tions decrease the potential of get- ting the flu. A nationwide effort to get people vaccinated is being organized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Officials of that agency are working with local health departments to re- mind people who have not yet been vaccinated that the time to get a flu vaccine continues through January or later. They report that flu immu- nization rates are low for children and adults. Washington rates are 22.8 percent for young children and 72.4 percent for adults over age 65, levels slightly above the national average but below national and state goals of 90 percent. The flu season in Washington usually peaks in January. Public health officials point out that every- one can benefit from a flu shot and they are more important for people who are at high risk for complica- tions. High-risk groups include pregnant women and: anyone over 50; children 6 months to 5 years old; persons with chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabe- tes or heart disease; and residents of nursing homes or long-term care facilities. Harmony Hill hosting dinner Harmony Hill in Union will host a gala holiday benefit dinner on Friday, December 14, to raise funds for its cancer programs. The dinner, scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. in the new Elmer and Katha- rine Nordstrom Great Hall, will feature comedian Debbie Wooten, Brian Hudak presenting "The Healing Power of Love" and musi- cal entertainment by pianist-vo- calist Larry Hill. Wooten was born in South Chi- cago with spina hifida and devel- oped polio as an infant. Isolated by color and disability, she met the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when she was 8 years old, an experience that changed her life. She uses her life struggles and tri- umphs in her comedic and inspira- tional presentation. .. Harmony Hill's chef and kitch- en staff will serve up a traditional holiday feast including glazed tur- key breast with cranberry com- pote, herb-stuffed squash, corn chowder, whole wheat dinner rolls, salad and pumpkin custard.
