There Is Help Out There

H1N1 has become more common than uncommon for everyone in America and is affecting everyone’s lives in some way, but many people don’t know that much about it.
Being educated about the flu H1N1 is vital for people that are scared about catching it and for people who have already had it. It is easily spread and has a lot of terrible symptoms that will keep people from work for a long time.
H1N1 spreads easily from person to person, from coughing and sneezing infected people or on many surfaces. By just washing your hands and being clean people are able to lower chances of getting infected. Doctors have provided Americans with an H1N1 vaccine and it is said by the CDC, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, to be the most import tool we have for preventing influenza.
Maya Murry, a nurse at the Orem Intermountain Health Clinic, says that H1N1 can be a scary and more dangerous flu but by following the advice of health officials it can help your odds of getting it. Murry says, “I recommend the H1N1 vaccine shot to everyone because it’s your best chance.”
A patient being treated at the Orem Intermountain Health Clinic, Clair Bunce, says that this flu was the worst one she feels like she has had for a long time. She has felt all the symptoms of a normal flu but much more severe. Bunce says, “I Threw up so much that I feel like have burnt a hole in my throat.”
H1N1 is one of the most sever flu’s America and the world has seen in a long time but the H1N1 vaccine is the most important step people can make to protect themselves from getting it. By covering mouths, washing hands and keeping away from others people can dramatically affect the spread of this flu.
