Actually I am intending to get a " flu " shot. As I have gotten older I am more

concious of the benefits of minimizing flu effect and transmission by flu

innoculation. Also, I think a pnmenoia shot every 5 years is a good idea too.

Compromised health, age, the same if not increased exposure, the possible

relationship between chronic Panc. and compromised immune system. It all adds up

to a decision I would like to make the other way but with care and honesty I

cannot. I do recommend to take very good care of oneself right after a flu

shot, well hydrated, minimal stress, minimal exposure, rest and nourishment.

FWIW, while not a topic on this board, I'm also concerned about the " avian "

flu currently in the news. Our flu shot would be of no protection, (the

pnmenoia shot would help), to the avian flu. While not really knowledgible about

this

concern, I seem to be aware that a lot of the professional health community

is worried and that some contries are taking overt action in trying to control

any outbreaks in bird populations. When the " big boys " get worried, then it

hits my radar too.

-Yep, I know what you're talking about. I get my flu shots and

encourage them also. But, the bird flu is really scaring me as well

as the lack of vaccine, etc. Now that it's in Europe too, its even

worrying me more. I am tempted to go back to work so I can get my

hands on the Tamiflu and stockpile. (Now that is an impossible

threat for me to carry out, so don't think I am awful. My girlfriend

is going to England in three weeks and she is a little nervous and is

looking for help at the U for vaccine or something. The odds don't

look in our favor for this one. I hope they start producing the

vaccine at record numbers for this one.
