Had an appointment at doctors to get prescription renewed for blood pressure meds. Nurse asked if wanted flu shot, said sure, saves waiting in line at clinic next week. Made appt. Mon. could have gone in yesterday but was busy. Going tomorrow morning for annual blood work. For some reason, the govt feels obligated to charge for PSA test. Aside from that, Doctors office visit, flu shot, one hundred tenoric(sp) blood pressure pills, tomorrows bloodwork. Total cost. thirty dollars for the PSA test. |

I was going to mention that Alberta has advertised it has a Flu Shot surplus, and anyone who felt they didn't qualify earlier is welcome to come in for free, but Pentax has a point... Maybe this isn't the right time or place... :nonono: |

It looks like the US like what they see north on the border on the handling of the flu shot supply.

I qualify for a flu shot since I have chronic illness. I have never taken one before. I will pass this year as well. I hope an old person or someone that will feel safer if they get one gets mine. Side note: I have never known anyone that has died from the flu. Has anyone here known someone that has? |

Dan; It's rare that anyone dies from the Flu directly, but it weakens your overall system. If you have any pre-existing condition (including ones that haven't been diagnosed) or come in contact with another infection, it opens a pathway for something truly serious. That would seem to apply in your case. |
