In both cases, well under 1 percent of refunds or stimulus checks were undeliverable. Av oiding Problems The IRS encourages taxpayers to choose direct deposit when they file their return because it puts an end to lost, stolen, or undeliverable checks. Taxpayers can receive refunds directly into personal checking or savings accounts. Direct deposit is available avail-able for filers of both paper and electronic returns. The IRS also encourages taxpayers tax-payers to file their tax returns electronically because e-file eliminates the risk of lost paper returns.

This year, however, the Uintah Basin has yet to record dramatic drops in temperature, but colds and illnesses have already al-ready started to increase. According to Gary Child, Uintah Basin Medical Center spokesman, physicians at the hospital are seeing a rise in patients pa-tients complaining of symptoms that are typically seen later in the year. Child wouldn't say that this suggests there will be an increase in the number of flu cases this year, but he does want Basin residents to know that flu shots are available. "We have a good supply," he said. "They've changed the formula to match up closer with Get your flu shot here! In Roosevelt, doctors will give flu shots by appointment. appoint-ment.

According to Jeramie Tubbs, health program supervisor for the Tricounty Health Department, Depart-ment, the influenza season usually usu-ally occurs during the late fall through early spring. Although the disease is prevalent among all ages, the rates of infection in-fection are highest for children between 1 and 3 years of age. The rates of serious illness and death are highest among those over 65, children under 2, and those with medical conditions that increase risk of complications complica-tions from influenza, Tubbs said. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Preven-tion, on average there are 36,000 deaths and 226,000 hospitalizations hospitaliza-tions annually due to influenza. Receiving an annual influenza vaccination is the most effective method for preventing infection and complications. The vaccine can be administered admin-istered to anyone 6 months old and older to reduce the likelihood likeli-hood of becoming ill or transmitting trans-mitting influenza to others. An inactivated flu vaccine can be administered to those 6 months of age and over, including those with high-risk conditions. The live, attenuated flu vaccine may be used for healthy individuals ages 2 to 49 years. It can also be used in non-pregnant women.

Beginning with the 2008-09 flu season, annual vaccination of all children ages 5 to 18 is recommended. recom-mended. Vaccination should be given as soon as the vaccine is available. This annual vaccination vaccina-tion should begin no later than the 2009-10 flu season. Annual vaccination of all children ages 6 months to 4 years old, as well as older children with conditions that place them at increased risk for complications from flu, should also continue. Children between 6 months to 8 years old should also receive two doses of vaccine if they have not been vaccinated previously. Likewise, children 6 months to 8 years old who received only one dose in their first year of vaccination should receive two doses the following year. As many as 20 percent of Americans get the flu. Their symptoms can range from mild to severe and can cause serious complications for those people who are at high risk. After vaccinations, it takes about two weeks for the antibodies anti-bodies that protect against flu virus to develop. Because the flu is more common in the winter and spring seasons, the months of October and November are the best times to get vaccinated, although getting vaccinated later in the year - even as late as December De-cember and January - can still offer needed protection.
