Sorry for this side issue, but...

Please consider getting your flu shot this year, and soon.   Australia has just gone through quite a difficult winter flu season this year, with far more hospitalizations, etc, than in past years.

All indications are that the new strain has reached North America, so experts believe that we're also going to get hit unusually hard this year.  However, the latest flu shots, (now available) are specifically geared for it.

So hey, why not?

Just got it, and without a reaction.  At my age, I need all the help I can get!
