Answer to Question 1

Latina women are less likely than others to see themselves as susceptible to breast cancer, but are less likely to see breast cancer as treatable. Latina women are more likely to have barriers in receiving healthcare in the later stages of pregnancy due to embarrassment with the physical examination, long waiting times for the doctor and poor patient-practitioner interactions. Korean American women seeking cervical cancer screenings report embarrassment as a barrier. Native American women were found to be reluctant to talk openly about their personal health.

Answer to Question 2

Genes, physiology, age, gender, fitness, and weight.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
