I will, as usual, get the annual flu vaccine since I do think it helps and has no side effects for me. I'm not convinced to get the swine flu vaccine though.
[[I’m still having a problem believing that this is a naturally occurring flu strain - the chance of a pig eating an infected bird’s droppings and then spreading it to humans is hard to imagine]]
Why is it hard to imagine? Pigs live out in hte open where bird droppings fall into hteir food sources all the time, plus they root around in the ground for roots, grubs, and other edibles, and there’s bird droppings all over hte place- an when you have pig farms (or any farm really) there is always goign to be grain that gets scattered round attractign birds lookign for easy meals
