10. How many people die from the flu in a “normal” year in the U.S.? ~36,000 About 90% are over 65 years old http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/disease/index.htm

11. Spanish flu of 1918-1919 Killed between 20-50 million people worldwide; 675,000 in the U.S. (2.5%-5% of world population) Infected 1/5 to 1/4 of world population Was most lethal to people 20-40 years old http://virus.stanford.edu/uda/

12. Spanish flu of 1918-1919 People on their way to work suddenly developing the flu and dying within hours (Henig). One physician writes that patients with seemingly ordinary influenza would rapidly "develop the most viscous type of pneumonia that has ever been seen" and later when cyanosis appeared in the patients, "it is simply a struggle for air until they suffocate," (Grist, 1979). Another physician recalls that the influenza patients "died struggling to clear their airways of a blood-tinged froth that sometimes gushed from their nose and mouth," (Starr, 1976). http://virus.stanford.edu/uda/

13. The high fatality rate from the Spanish flu was probably due to an immune system over-reaction

40. The length of vaccine protection (immunity) is usually not known when a vaccine is first introduced. So far, studies have followed women for five years and found that women are still protected. http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/STDFact-HPV-vaccine.htm#hpvvac7

41. The length of vaccine protection (immunity) is usually not known when a vaccine is first introduced. So far, studies have followed women for five years and found that women are still protected. More research is being done to find out how long protection will last, and if a booster vaccine is needed years later. http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/STDFact-HPV-vaccine.htm#hpvvac7

42. The retail price of the vaccine is $120 per dose ($360 for full series). While some insurance companies may cover the vaccine, others may not. http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/STDFact-HPV-vaccine.htm#hpvvac7
