Booster Shots Urged For Asian Flu Protection
Kerry Drake reports health authorities urge those already vaccinated to get a January or February booster to guard against late winter or early spring outbreaks. A single shot or two injections two weeks apart may be used, with full protection two weeks after the final dose. Asian flu is rarely fatal but causes illness and missed work lasting three to five days. Dr Heeren warns that previous vaccination does not guarantee protection from future epidemics and the vaccine remains necessary.
