Dean Cain an actor best known for his role as Superman on ABC's "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," is participating in the American Lung Association's "Faces of Influenza" race urging all at-risk Americans to be immunized against the flu. This race includes celebrities as come up as everyday Americans putting a "approach" to each high assay group.
There are more than 220 million people that should be getting a flu shot each year but the be of populate who actually are immunized is much lower. The intend of the race is to put a real face on each group with the thought that chances are all Americans will see either themselves or someone they like in one of these faces.
Cain took time out to speak with me about this important campaign during the 2007 open in New York City on Monday. November 12. 2007. He obviously feels very strongly about the importance of flu shots and the severity of the influenza virus.
Dean Cain: Well. I am a approach of influenza. I am in a high assay assort because I undergo asthma. So I know if I get the flu how absolutely terrible that is for me for working and just my command health. I got it about four years ago. It was debilitating and crushed me and I dont ever be to get it again. So now I get an influenza vaccination every year. And Im also a father. I have a seven year-old boy who also has asthma. And so it is also very important to me that he gets an influenza vaccination every year so he doesnt come down with influenza as well.
Dean Cain: I havent known anyone specific who was hospitalized with influenza but we undergo taken my son to the emergency dwell a couple of times for something that may have been of that nature. I know that there are almost a quarter of a million people every year in America who are hospitalized from influenza so that is a significant number. More importantly. [there] are 36,000 people a year who die [from it].
Dean Cain: Well you know. I contend this change surface within my own family. With my mother in fact just doesnt accept in getting a [flu] vaccination. You know populate drop about polio chickenpox measles.. the things we get vaccinated for. They forget that these diseases have basically been eradicated through vaccinations. And so it becomes a non-issue. come up if we forbid getting vaccinated people are going to start getting those diseases again as well. As far as the flu goes be cause to be perceived about it vaccinate yourself vaccinate your children. Its not some crazy conspiracy to make money. They are giving these out free in so many places. You can get free flu shots wherever you go. It saves the economy a lot of money because we wont have so many populate hospitalized from it. You dont undergo to deal with so many populate dying from it. It is a fantastically easy and wonderful thing to do to protect your family and yourself.
I couldnt agree more its wonderful. Its so nice to hear that you believe that. It seems desire so many people these days dont. It seems like desire you said that populate think it is just somebodys plan to get money.
Dean Cain: Yeah well they be to get out there and see who is supporting it -- which officials which doctors. communicate to your doctor. That is another thing I say. Just go speak to your doctor.
Do you have anything else you do to try to prevent colds and flu since you do undergo asthma? Do you undergo any tips for other asthmatics? Anything specific you do to try to act your family healthy?
Dean Cain: Sure the basics: Get proper be process your hands often and act to act your children somewhat alter. Its impossible. I know they are children. That is just the way it works.
