Influenza Kills, Dean & Kristi Save

Dean Cain and Olympic Gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi (1992 Winter Olympics in the Women’s Figure Skating) helped the American Lung Association launch the Faces of Influenza Initiative yesterday, September 19 at the The W Hotel Union Square in New York City. Dean, 40, and Kristin, 35, joined this multi-year national public awareness initiative to help Americans put a “face” on influenza and show firsthand the seriousness of this potentially deadly infectious disease.

Other celebrities involved in the Faces of Influenza initiative are: 24’s Jean Smart, The View’s Joy Behar, and The O.C.’s Peter Gallagher. “We live in a world where people tend to take risks,” said Smart. “But influenza does not have to be one of those risks. Take influenza seriously and help prevent it through vaccination. I do, and I hope others will get serious about vaccination for themselves, their families and others they care about.”
