Hello,

It is possible that you were not completely treated for giardia because there are known to be partially or completely resistant strains of giardia.

How are your symptoms now?

The influenza vaccination, as you may be aware, has not been as protective this year as we usually expect.

Have you followed up with your health care provider?
