Forums >Health and Nutrition>Flu shot heresy
Just got an email from the school district, the upshot of which was, "H1N1 is widespread, there will be no vaccine until November so good luck with that. Cough in your sleeve, wash your hands and if your kids have a fever of 100.4 or higher keep them home."
Sweet, thanks.

My daughter was just sent home from school today with a case of the flu....not sure which kind. Seems to be mild. Call the Pediatrician and their response was rest, fluid and if she starts having issues with her breathing to take her to the ER. They don't want to see her.

I am hearing rumors that there will be a clinic in my area this weekend. So my guests first day here we will spend it in line at the flu clinic. My guess is at least one of my guests will be rabidly anti-vaccine, judging from the past. Although they did cave when my son was hospitalized for RSV and I told them in no uncertain terms that unvaccinated people were not visiting me that winter. I had to fire my babysitter because her parents wouldnt vaccinate her.
Sheesh. Well, the race for this year's Darwin Awards should be pretty competitive.

The preggo in my office says she isn't getting the flu shots because she takes vitamins and so it isn't necessary.
she likely has an equally amusing reason why she got preggo

Who is her doctor, Tom Cruise or Jenny McCarthy?
Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
Damn. The manufacturer of those vitamins should let that be known - it would be worth a FORTUNE!!! I bet she never gets colds either.

Funny the fashion in names. When I was a kid, I was "Kathy," which was common. and Kate old-fashioned. Now you hardly ever hear that among women younger than me (40-44 age group!), and girls are some variation of Kate or Katy.
My Kathryn prefers Kate or Kat though I still call her Katie lol. No offense but I CAN"T stand the name Cathy (not sure why)
Best Present Ever
Neither can I. Only very elderly aunts dare call me Kathy these days.
It's that damned cartoon.
