UK Flu Season Predictions

[gadget99]

Hi all,

I thought I would share some news in case it has not been reported much outside of the UK.

We have received our flu injection already. What peaked my interest is that this year the vaccine is targeting three different strains and the National Health System is really pushing hard to get as many people as possible vaccinated.

This may not be the dreaded bird flu pandemic I worry about. Thought it is interesting that there is this much concern over here in the UK.

Anyone seeing like concern or reporting anywhere else.

Peace all.

 The Mrs. and I got ours three weeks ago and no there isn't a larger than normal push to get vaccinated. Then again we don't have as many refugees as you have there. What I mean by that is where they come from I don't think the flu is as prominent as in Europe and the USA so they don't think about getting vaccinated.
