November 8, 2005: Flu Shot Time

Time for my annual reminder to get that flu shot. No, I haven't gotten MINE yet. But I will, real soon. Putting it on my own to-do list reminded me to write this.

Will it keep you from getting the bird flu? Almost certainly not. However, unless you're a bird or an epidemiologist, that's not what you should be worrying about this winter. Right now you should be worrying about that plain old makes-you-very-sick-and-spreads-to-other-people-and-kills-some-of-them flu. Get a shot and reduce your chance of being miserable and infecting your friends and family.
