Influenza is a “classic” viral infection, with epidemics occurring annually, and pandemics taking place periodically as new antigenic agents manifest themselves. Influenza typically results in over 200,000 hospitalizations and over 15,000 deaths annually in the United States. Vigorous efforts at surveillance and immunization have helped to provide some measure of control over morbidity and mortality. Roger G. works as a loan originator for a mortgage banking company and is also a member of the County Legislature in the area in which he resides. In some years, he gets the influenza vaccine but in other years he forgets or claims that he is too busy. He had the flu once, 4 years ago, when he neglected to obtain an immunization. He was quite ill for several days, and weak and lethargic for several additional days afterward. It is now late summer, and advertising for the availability of the influenza vaccine is becoming visible. 1.What should Roger’s response to seeing the advertising for the influenza vaccine be? 2.When should Roger plan to get his influenza vaccine? Roger has a wife, a 5-year-old daughter, and a 1-year-old son. Should all of the members of his household receive the influenza vaccine? If yes, when? If no, why not? His 67-year-old mother was vaccinated in the fall of 2016 and exhibited swelling of the lips. What questions should she have for her primary care physician? What is the likely answer she will receive?
