People who get the flu have a cough, fever, chills, sore throat, muscle aches and fatigue. Symptoms usually last from three to five days but can last longer. The cough and fatigue can last several weeks, making return to personal and work activities difficult.<br/> 406<br/> 407<u><strong>What the flu is NOT<br/> 408</strong></u><strong><br/> 409</strong>The flu is not a stomach virus (i.e. nausea and vomiting). It is not a cold or a minor febrile illness. People who contract influenca are very ill. It can be deadly for those who are immune compromised, for infants and children, the elderly and even those who were previously healthy.<br/> 410<br/> 411The flu vaccine is 70 to 90 per cent effective in preventing influenza in adults. Of those who get the flu, an even larger number see a decrease in severity of symptoms, or duration of illness, if they have had the flu vaccine.<br/> 412<strong><br/> 413<u>What are the possible side effects of the flu shot?<br/> 414</u><br/> 415</strong>Most people have no side effects or some soreness, redness or swelling at the needle site. You cannot get influenza from the flu vaccine. Some people find they feel unwell for 24 to 48 hours after the vaccine. This may be coincidental, or it may be your body doing what it's supposed to do - reacting to the vaccine to give you protection when you come in contact with the live virus.<br/> 416<br/> 417To learn more about influenza and the flu vaccine, please contact us or visit:<br/> 418<br/> 419<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><a href="http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/publichealth/flu/"><b><span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; color: #333333; font-size: 9pt">Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care's influenza information site</span></b></a></span></font></span></p> 420<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #336666; font-size: 13.5pt"><font color="#000000" size="2"><strong><a href="http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/influenza/index-eng.php" target="_blank">Public Health Agency of Canada's influenza Information site</a><br/> 421</strong></font></span><br/> 422<br/> 423<strong><u><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #336666; font-size: 13.5pt">Patient Experience Survey</span></u></strong><b><u><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #336666; font-size: 13.5pt"><br/> 424</span></u></b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt"><br/> 425<br/> 426</span>

It's a simple test that can be done at home, and this video takes all the mystery (and, hopefully, fear) out of it through humourous commentary and visuals.</p> 488<p>It is recommended that men and women 50 years of age or older, who do not have a family history of colorectal cancer and do not have symptoms, be screened every two years using an <acronym>FOBT</acronym>. Studies show that when this screening test is performed every two years, combined with a colonoscopy for those who test positive, it will reduce death from colorectal cancer by 16 per cent over a decade. <br/> 489For more information about the FOBT, talk to your health care provider.<br/> 490<br/> 491<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzJe_D0-J38 <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzJe_D0-J38> "><strong>Watch the video in English</strong></a><br/> 492<br/> 493<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=300eNqjITBE <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=300eNqjITBE> "><strong>Watch the video in French</strong></a><br/> 494<br/> 495<br/> 496<span style="font-family: Arial; color: #336666; font-size: 13.5pt"><strong><u>What is OxyNEO?</u></strong></span><strong><u><br/> 497<br/> 498<br/> 499</u></strong>OxyNEO is a new form of the narcotic painkiller OxyContin, which has been withdrawn from the Canadian market. OxyNEO contains the exact same medication as OxyContin but is much harder to abuse. When crushed, it continues to be long-acting. When dissolved in water, it turns into a gummy substance that cannot be injected or snorted.<br/> 500<br/> 501As pharmacies use up their supplies of OxyContin, coverage for this drug will continue until April 2, 2012. Patients who are currently taking OxyContin will have automatic coverage for OxyNEO for one year. The pharmacist cannot automatically substitute OxyNEO for OxyContin, so a new prescription for OxyNEO is required.<br/> 502<br/> 503After February 28, 2013, OxyNEO will only be available through the Exceptional Access Program (EAP). The EAP form should be filled out by patientsâ health care providers as soon as possible to make sure coverage is in place for next year. Any new patients starting OxyNEO will need EAP approval from their health care provider before they can start this medication.<br/> 504<br/> 505Patients with questions about OxyNEO should talk to their doctor or pharmacist.
