You can't vaccinate aganist MRSA. You can't do much of anything about it, except treat the symptoms. The bacterium is resistant to antibiotics.

It has been around this country for years. I remember seeing cases of it when I worked for a transport ambulance company in 1989. A few years later, it had spread to unsuspecting caregivers and MRSA cases had large signs over their beds to warn people to use gloves, gowns, and faceshields when they were treating a MRSA patient.

This is going to get bad, I think. Think about it the next time you see some fellow walking out of the bathroom without washing his hands.
