Vaccination?

Here's a really good "how to" that we all need to read. With the widespread concern and the many questions that surround the 'should I or shouldn't I?' factor, click on How to Get a Flu Shot. This answered many of my questions and I am opting to get both the seasonal and H1N1 shots this year. Don't go rushing down to Walgreens and pay 25 bucks either . If you check local health facilities, you might find the vaccinations at no cost or a reduced cost. Had been thinking about changing my many prescriptions to a local Walgreens because of location, but will not since this has the ring of a scam.

Yes, there will be naysayers that advise everyone not to get them. Ever heard a Doctor give such advice? Certain groups of people need to make the extra effort to acquire this protection. I qualify on several levels. Anyway, go read the article, It has great info and several links that may sway you to make the right decision. Please remember, I am NOT a doctor or involved in the medical professions in any way. Just felt like this is very useful information. Several important things were learned from reading it and a few of the links. Hope this helps!
