Flu Shot

Hi everybody.  I don't get on here that often anymore.  I do alot of browsing silently.  Anyhow, yesterday I got my flu shot. I get them every year.  Just for those who may not know, the H1N1 vaccine is included in the seasonal flu vaccine this year.  Last year, I got both shots and had no problems w/the H1N1 vax.  I just wanted to let you know that in case you might be wondering about the H1N1 part.  In fact, I really didn't hear of any ill effects in the news from anybody taking the H1N1 shot.

Hi Susan.  Where I work we are gearing up for the usual flu season.  We have a lot of buildings with lots of people so it's in out interest to suggest and promote the use of vaccine as a reasonable precaution.  Although it's not expected to be a 'heavy' season we are seeing that the southern hemisphere (winter now) evidence that it will likley be a more normal year.  One of the vaccines available is a 'live' virus that is not recommened for some people.  So, people should be aware of some of the cautions and decide accordingly.   Yes, H1N1 is in the 'seasonal' vaccine now.
