Anyone here looking for a flu shot??

[Gymgurl]

I need the flu shot and I can't find one. I'm down to waiting in line for a couple hours and paying $17.00 for one What a pain in the ass....

 

[sheep-head]

I wish I had, had one.

I feel awful with flu at the moment.

 

[Gymgurl]

You poor baby! I heard it was going around already!

Up your levels of vit c, d, and b-12.

There are about a gazillion strains of flew out there and you get a shot for one. It's a crap shoot.

I have to get one for my asthma. Makes a huge dofference in how fast my body gets it out of my lungs......

 

[WODIN]

Well I hope you find one. It's getting freaky out there.

 

[Gymgurl]

I know! My Dr. office said they are not getting anything in.......come wait with me in line and we can play cards or something

What the purpose of FLU shots? I always read about people getting them every season but why? Should'nt your immune system handle it? And if it doesnt is there something wrong with it? I guess what I'm asking is why don't I or my Fiancee ever get it? Could it be because we exercide?

For a normal healthy person you hust work through it....for me it tends to go right to my lungs and I end up in the hospital for a couple of days while they get me breathing again.....

Flu kills quite a lot of people in a year, sometimes even healthy people. Although flu shots from what I remember protect against type A? Or at least a projection of what type A might look like this year (type A is fatal).

 

[Lestat]

not getting one this year.

As I understand it a lot of towns and local municipalities give them out for free. My township gave out mine for the last few years, and all I had to bring was my licence and sign something proving i lived there. I had mine last year and the few years before. I have to get mine done this year. Call your local police station or parks dept., as I am sure they can direct you to where you need to go if your town offers.

I'm getting one next week from my job, which is weird, but still I'll take it. I have asthma also and have been getting flu shots basically my entire life. I don't think I've ever gotten the flu, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it in my case. I don't wanna take a chance with my asthma.

 

[danielson]

they usually analyse multiple strains going round the globe and try to predict the ones likely to do the most damage, then grow up multiple strains in chicken eggs for the vaccine


A british company had its saftey license revoked due to some health and saftey bullshit and thats why both the US and UK have a shortage of it. only people prone to respiratory infections (immunocomprimised, elderly, severe asthma, diabetics etc) need it...

hopefully with any luck peoples altruism will kick in and those who dont need it wont demand to have it.We'll see how much of a nation if we have enough for those who need it

NO one believes me when I say that.

I have asthma (allergy related) and I've never had the flu nor a flu shot.
