Holiday Travel And H1N1 Virus

In Health Watch:The day before Thanksgiving is traditionally a big travel day.This year.. some are concerned about picking up H1N1 with their baggage .. and around the Thanksgiving table.Janet Choi reports.Aurora Cahinhinan is getting her seasonal flu shot before she heads to Bermuda.Cahinhinan says, 'I'm doing the best that I can, with what's available to me.'At Harmony Pharmacy in JFK airport, travelers are using their layovers to get flu protection as we head into the holiday season.It's easy for germs to spread.. Especially in close quarters.If a person with the flu coughs on a plane, infectious droplets spread seven rows in two minutes.The row of the infected passenger and seats in the row behind are at highest risk.Dr. Jonathan Jacobs says, 'most of us do not get infections by directly inhaling them but rather touching something that has been infected and then touching our mouth or eyes or nose.'Travelers are urged to stay home if they're sick..But a trip advisor poll finds 51% would fly with the flu in order to avoid penalty fees.Christopher Dial has a runny nose, but he's still going to Salt Lake City.Dial says, 'I've been taking airborne, maybe that's helped a little bit.'If you haven't been vaccinated for the flu by now, you won't be protected on Thanksgiving.It takes about two weeks for the body to produce antibodies after vaccination and that's why it's important to be smart around the dinner table.Flu can live on objects for 2 to 8 hours so..-Use serving spoons so nobody puts their own forks in the food;- Use plastic cups or tag glasses ...so they aren't shared;- And use paper towels instead of cloth towels.Aurora says common sense is all you need.Cahinhinan says, 'can't worry about something I can't control, I will not put myself in a bubble.'She's not going to let fears about the flu keep her home for the holidays.
