Flu season comes in like a lamb
Thu, January 24, 2008
Posted in Alaska News
The flu season has been slow so far in Alaska. With winter half-over, only 142 cases have been reported so far. Nearly 90 percent of those were in the Anchorage area, and only five were in the Interior. Alaska Division of Public Health epidemiologist Dr. Beth Funk says most states are not reporting wide-spread activity, and so far, there haven’t been as many hospitalizations in Alaska usual.

The elders in Bethel were lucky. Although vaccines were available in September and although elders are on the priority list for receiving vaccine, vaccination at the senior center did not occur until the week before Thanksgiving.
I don’t accept flu vaccines anymore. I tried one in 1996; I felt like my body was invaded by an alien!
I’ll stick to my ’stinkweed’ aka wormwood or ‘ayuq’ (Labrador Tea).
