CLINTON - LYDIA MILLS Vol. 10. No. 9 Sept.. 1961 Clinton. S. C. (glLBSfUXDS VOL. 10. NO. 9 PUI THE U N II ONE GOAL ONE GIFT - Enoug ONE TIME 1961 With winter approaching n__ fi.i. aii_ riu jnois uue Voluntary - - I For the fifth consecutive year flu shots were offered to all employees on a voluntary, no cost basis, last week. A survey was made prior to giving the shots to determine the number desiring to take them. Approximately 60', of the people at both plants took advantage of the fringe benefit health service. Flu vaccine has proven very effective in reducing influenza in our area. Surveys taken in neighboring textile plants last year proved that the shots reduced flu cases among employees as much as 8'i and considerably reduced the number of "in bed" days for those who received the shots but contracted the dreaded and sometimes fatal illness. rteacuons to nu vaccine are very mild and consist only of a slight soreness and a little aching a few hours after being given. Never are reactions dangerous in any way. Last week, U. S. Surgeon General Luther L. Terry predicted there will be a new influenza outbreak in the United States this fall and winter. "We are probably due for some Asian Flu out 'Ck JLISHED BY AND FOR TH1 M| -- ** I rED WAY $20,560.75 h For All 21 Needs October 3-17 1962 red Employees No Cost Basis breaks, since they come in two or three year cycles" Terry said, "and we are overdue for Type B flu outbreaks which come in four to six year cycles." High risk groups, as far as fatalities are concerned arc those over 65, people suffering from heart and lung diseases. diabetes, and other chronic illness, and pregnant women. "All persons in risk groups should get flu shots light now," Terry said. Dr. Terry blamed the refusal or neglect of people to get flu shots for the expected rise of several million eases and possibly 50,000 deaths this year. "The most tragic aspect of flu", he said, "is that it is fatal to so many people who, in spite of their age or chronic impairments, could otherwise enjoy many more years of relatively qood health." INFLUENZA IS NOT JUST A "RAD COLD" ? IT CAN BE MUCH MORE SERIOUS ?AND THE ONLY RECOGNIZED TREATMENT IS PREVENTION.
