If you get all your flu shots this year, you'll have to go to the doctor three times. The swine flu shot shouldn't be taken any closer than four to six weeks after the regular seasonal flu shot. Then you have to go back for a second injection on the swine flu shot.
I'm not so sure I want to take the swine flu shot, anyway. At this point, it's still being tested and is in the experimental stage. How can they know in just a few weeks what the possible side effects are? There probably won't be enough vaccine anyway. I heard on the news this morning that there will be 65 million doses available by October. Let's see -- about 300 million Americans -- that leaves 235 million out in the cold. It could turn out that those 235 million are the lucky ones. Think I'll skip the shot this year.
Paris News funnies:
A recent headline in the Paris Newsless proclaimed: "Mmm . . . popcicles . . . tastes like wisdom." Leave it to them to have both a spelling and a grammar error in five words!
Then there was the guest editorial writer who used an oak tree overrun with vines as an illustration. She said, "The vines rap all around the tree." Can't you just see the tendrils dancing around making gang signs and holding those microphones in that gangsta' style?
