Flu shots

Got my seasonal flu shot today. I didn't feel a thing when I got the H1N1 shot, but this one hurt. :-P In two weeks I'll be ready for anything Winter has to throw at me. Well, except snow.

A few folks I know who work in the health system aren't getting them. If you're a healthy person in general it might not stave off GETTING the thing, but it should save you from having any complications.

Someone on my LJ friends list has been in the hospital for nearly a month after contracting H1N1, and he was otherwise healthy before. The 1918 flu epidemic actually affected healthy people worse than the traditional elderly and young flu victims.
