What actions—apart from getting vaccinated and taking medicine—can you take to help slow the spread of illnesses like the flu? BY CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION
除了接种疫苗和吃药之外，你还能采取哪些措施来帮助减缓流感等疾病的传播?
Sacramento County public health officials are inviting families Saturday to the first in a series of free flu shot clinics as they urge residents to get flu vaccinations, which are even more important this year as COVID-19 continues to spread.
萨克拉门托县公共卫生官员邀请家庭周六前往免费流感疫苗注射诊所，并敦促居民接种流感疫苗。今年，由于COVID-19继续蔓延，接种疫苗变得更为重要。
The Sacramento County Immunization Assistance Program is hosting flu shot clinics for adults and children throughout Sacramento County from late September through late November.
萨克拉门托县免疫援助计划从9月底到11月底在萨克拉门托县为成人和儿童开办了流感疫苗注射诊所。
A list of the flu shot clinic locations, dates and times is available online on the county’s website. Saturday’s flu shot clinic will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Church of Christ-Lemon Hill, 4910 Lemon Hill Avenue, in south Sacramento.
流感疫苗注射诊所的地点、日期和时间可以在该县的网站上找到。周六的流感疫苗注射诊所将于上午9点至下午2点在南萨克拉门托 Lemon Hill 4910号的the Church of Christ-Lemon Hill。
County Public Health Officer Dr. Olivia Kasirye said those who can’t receive the vaccine, including infants younger than six months old or people with a compromised immune system such as those receiving chemotherapy, rely on others to get vaccinated and protect those vulnerable.
县公共卫生官员Olivia Kasirye医生说，那些不能接种疫苗的人，包括6个月以下的婴儿或免疫系统受损的人，比如接受化疗的人，需要依靠其他人接种疫苗来保护那些脆弱的人。
“The earlier people get vaccinated, the better. It takes two weeks for the protective properties of the vaccine to take effect,” Kasirye said in a news release from the county’s Public Health Department.
“人们越早接种疫苗越好。Kasirye在该县公共卫生部门的新闻发布会上说。
Earlier this week, physicians, hospital leaders and public health officials urged Californians to get their flu shots to help prevent what they described as a “twindemic,” in which the COVID-19 pandemic and seasonal influenza overwhelm medical facilities.
本周早些时候，医生、医院领导和公共卫生官员敦促加州人接种流感疫苗，以帮助预防他们所说的“twindemic”，即COVID-19疫情和季节性流感让医疗机构不堪重负。
They’re concerned about hospital capacity if patients suffering with the flu seek treatment at medical facilities who are still treating patients infected with COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus. They’re also worried about the potential for another surge of COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations.
他们担心，如果流感患者到仍在治疗新冠肺炎(COVID-19，由冠状病毒引起的呼吸系统疾病)患者的医疗机构寻求治疗，医院的能力会受到影响。他们还担心COVID-19感染和住院的可能性会再次激增。
County health officials said getting a flu shot does not protect against COVID-19, but the flu vaccine has other important benefits, such as reducing the risk of flu illness, hospitalization and death.
县卫生官员说，接种流感疫苗并不能预防COVID-19，但流感疫苗还有其他重要的好处，比如降低患流感、住院和死亡的风险。
Flu vaccination of people at high risk for medical complications is especially important to decrease the risk of severe flu illness, county health officials said. Those at risk include elderly people and those with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, lung disease and kidney disease.
该县卫生官员表示，为高危人群接种流感疫苗对于降低患严重流感的风险尤为重要。高危人群包括老年人和患有糖尿病、高血压、肺病和肾病等慢性疾病的人。
County health officials also said that many people at higher risk from flu also seem to be at higher risk from COVID-19, so it’s important for them, as well, to get a flu shot this year.
县卫生官员还表示，许多流感高危人群感染COVID-19的风险似乎也较高，因此对他们来说，今年注射流感疫苗也很重要。
