About the flu shot. Yeah, they screwed up again and didn't make enough. But if you're elderly or have a chronic illness, you're on the priority list and should get one. The rest of us should wait it out and see if there's enough left over. Course, I got a flu shot one year and was hospitalised with the strain they didn't vaccinate for two months later, running up a nice bill.

Thanks for the valuable info.

So I understand that none of us are actually protected against smallpox, even if we received the vaccination as kids. So the logical thing to focus on is to get us all vaccinated.

We need to DEMAND our government can meet the supply and demand of the entire country if we need the medication. Our doctor won't prescribe shelf-life antibiotics. Whose will! If they can airdrop food supplies to millions of Afgans, then by gosh, they can use our tax dollars to supply us with meds in case of a bio attack.

Back to the flu shot. It's available in limited quantities. Even my very fragile Uncle, age 73 is on a waiting list.

Oh, and I'm on my second slice of icecream cake...Chocolate!! Haven't indulged myself like this in a long, long time. If I'm gonna go, I'm doing it in style!
