I think that Fox News Radio said 98% of the samples were resistant, but it was a small number of samples from 12 states. See the
AP story for some more details.

effective in preventing or reducing the severity of illness with currently circulating viruses I've always thought the vaccine prevented the flu if it was the right vaccine, never been told it reduced severity? Is this the new line in that the vaccines are less effective?

I believe a healthy lifestyle including diet results in a healthy immune system. If you live on a diet of soda pop, twinkies, preservatives and fastfood it is a recipe for a unhealthy body.

Is this the new line in that the vaccines are less effective?This is the illegal alien influx: the gift that keeps on giving.
Thank el presidente Bush for his leadership in the illegally crossed border issue. Now we have more bed bugs, lice, whooping cough and other plagues we thought had been eradicated, but our unwanted 'guests' just keep jumping over the border like Mexican jumping beans.

I agree, I rarely eat in restaurants and alway use a debit card or cheques because the exchange of currency passes through many nasty hands.

As we say in the medical community, the flu lasts for about 7 days if left untreated or about a week if treated.

tamiflu is an antiviral not a vaccine. in other words its a useless placebo.

And TB.
BTW, whatever happened to that report about a year ago that TB was becoming prevalent again in cities and communities that have large “undocumented immigrant” populations (possibly! maybe! only guessing! don’t worry about it!).

I know what tamiflu is, but that is NOT what the paragraph in question said.

The CDC continues to recommend that people get vaccinated against seasonal flu, and said this year’s lot of vaccines should be effective in preventing or reducing the severity of illness with currently circulating viruses.

It did not say in this story if we were given the correct Flu Shot this year?
