The flu shot, 2008/2009... not so good?

Credit: Science & Health News


No kidding! I know of three people, the poor Mich included, who've had their shot and have full blown flu! Vomiting, dizziness, coughing, 102 fever and assorted ills. I do realize that there are many, many strains of flu... but surely, there's got to be a better way than tossing a dart at a board? Talking to my friends, everyone, knows someone with the flu. Apparently it's going through the schools, like wild fire

2008 flu season

Looking at the people around me and how I've been feeling, that cartoon is right! I've just read that this year's shot only protects agains 40% of the strains circulating. The lowest percentage ever.

Ok, I have to go blow my nose now.

Back away from the screen! I may be contagious...

Sniffing, sneezing, coughing, my head is going to explode and I think my eyes are going to pop out of my head ... but hey, other than that... life is grand!
