My mother was in ER December 20 for colon cancer complications. We walked in and the nurse said “DONT TOUCH ANYTHING. Even our staff who got flu shots are all getting sick.”

I was sick in December, too, with a viral bug that was suspiciously flu-like. I’ve had the flu before so I know. And I had a flu shot in October. If Fedzilla wants volunteers for a serology study, I’ll offer up a tube or two. Sign me up.

Unfortunately, the flu shot this season wasn’t a good match for the circulating strains. IIRC, only 40% match.

Typically health providers get their shots first. This year the first vaccine was the wrong one. They’re never 100% effective anyways.
