abc9 news anchor jenna rehnstrom explains some common misconceptions in this week's your health matters. jenna: jenna rehnstrom says, "when it's this nice out, it's hard to think about winter illnesses, but now is the ideal time to get you and your family vaccinated for the flu." maybe you've already gotten your flu shot for the year. if you're hesitating to get the vaccine, do you really know what it prevents? there are some common misconceptions about influenza. linda drey, siouxland district health dept. says, "they'll say, 'i got the flu and it [the vaccine] really didn't help me.' so, we ask questions, 'what do you mean by the flu,' and it's usually the nausea, vomiting, diarea thing which is not influenza. influenza is a pnemonia-like illness, it's an upper resperatory infection and comes on hard an fast, usually high fever, body aches and chills." jenna rehnstrom linda drey from siouxland district health says now is a great time to get your influenze vaccine. in iowa, the virus usually peaks in january or february, and getting vaccinated now gives you plenty of time to get covered. so, how does it protect you? this particular vaccine contains dead strains of two influenza "a" virus and two strains of influenza "b". the common strains floating around last winter. linda says, "last year there was a little bit of a shift and drift that we saw a little bit more influenza b. we're hoping there's a better match with the vaccine this year, because there is the guadrivalent vaccine that covers two "a's" and two "b's"." jenna rehnstrom if you're on board for your vaccine, there's the traditional shot, of course. but, if you'd prefer a no-poke option, like our photographer, jonathan, here, most people can have the nasal mist instead, which carries its own benefits. linda says, "the benefits to flu mist if you're able to recieve it that because it is a weakened live vaccine, it starts to prevent antibodies pretty quickly, and you get quicker coverage and protection from the vaccine." jenna rehnstrom keep these tidbits in mind as the weather starts to chance and influenze starts to pop up. and, if you do get sick, linda says stay home from work or school, so you don't pass it along to your friends. with chief photographer jonathan mack, i'm with your health matters. jessica rae: want a healthier baby? think about having a child in the summer. researchers at britain's cambridge university say babies born in summer months have a healthier birth weight and are taller. girls may also start puberty later in life, compared to girls born in other seasons. however, summer babies do not appear to do better than school. scientists say that may be, because of their birthdate, they start school younger than their peers. so why does a summer birth make a child healthier?
