before flu season begins -- researchers study the influenza strains circulating in the southern hemisphere... allowing them to identify strains that could show up in north america. but how we manufacture the vaccine might be working against us. the f-d-a requires vaccine viruses be grown in chicken eggs. but some strains -- like this year's h3-n2 -- don't grow well in eggs. dr. mark rupp / university of nebraska medical center, division of infectious diseases: "the process for the virus to be adapted into the chicken eggs actually caused the virus to change a little bit and because of that change, the vaccine doesn't fully recognize the wild type strain that's in circulation." (vicki) scientists want to create a flu vaccine that lasts a lifetime. until then -- doctor's recommend you to get the flu shot every year. even if you get the flu -- it can help your body fight back -- reducing the amount of time you're sick.

that is not a life sentence that doest make it ok in investigating the officers actions, the district attorney's final report called elena's death unintended and tragic. but srgt jeremy miskella and detective joel hernandez, feared for their lives and acted in self-defense and in defense of the law. and there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution. sot sadly enough it was surprising and not surprising elena's grieving family wishes the officers had handled it differently.sot at what point did we not decide to not get them while they were in the pool and wait until they were in the car and wants the officers held accountable for killing their loved one.sot at the very least negligence and irresponsibility // sot obviously we are going through a lot of pain emotional pain and heartache but as a society and a community we should be concerned about thisjustine waldman miguel tells me elena was a good kid, who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. the family plans to hold a vigil in hayward .. on the one-year mark of elena's death. they are also considering other legal options against the fremont police department. in the newsroom justine waldman kron 4 news.
