Remember last year at this time? Schools closing down, people being sent home from work if they dared to sneeze. Why? HINI or the Swine Flu which caused a minor panic as companies rushed to make a vaccine. The 'normal" flu vaccine was on hand but it took awhile for the HINI to make it to the public. The rushed Swine vaccine had its own problems as people became concerned as to the safety of a vaccine rushed into production.
This year is different--lots of flu shots to be had with the added bonus of the HINI being combined with them.
I have always been an advocate of getting a flu shot but I am not to happy with the fact that I no longer have the choice to pass on the swine flu vaccine since it has hitched a ride with this years shot. Bummer--I do not want the swine flu vaccine. Don't ask me why--I can not give a reasonable answer except that I had the shot back in the 70's which turned out to be a dud. What to do?
More later.....
