everyone stuck with the vaccine

This past week in my small town there wss a free clinic for getting the H1N1 vaccine free- I did not see anything in the paper about how many participated, but I sure did not hear any one talking about it either.

If ya can’t give it away-———

I got immunity the old fashioned way. I got the swine flu.

It really sucked, but every doc I talked with said it was a “mild” flu. If that is mild, I never want to get regular.

Aww jeesh, we’re back to bird flu now.

My mother (nurse) took care of many people with the 1918 influenza- never ever got influenza til her later years when she was convinced to take the vaccine-for that reason I did not take it, until I did get influenza. Doesn’t sound as though I fared as badly as you, but it was not fun.

Reassortment between avian H5N1 and human H3N2 influenza viruses creates hybrid viruses with substantial virulence
