[AT] O.T. whan flu vaccine?

[STEVE ALLEN]

Keep in mind that the vaccines require a 2nd dose to achieve proper immunity.   The need for the second dose complicates the scheduling.

In any case, my wife has been urged by her doc NOT to get the vaccine, at least not yet.  There remain too many unanswered questions about interactions with some drugs and her autoimmune disorders.

To assume that we all get a magic shot and everything is all better is unrealistic.  We'll be living with the repercussions of this disease for a long time, alas!

On a positive note, I haven't seem to have caught any of the ailments my old JDs have--I'm not rusting, and I'm not dented, and I'm not faded.  Of course, I do have a little trouble getting started from time to time . . . .  Hmmmmm.

Oh, and there's that compulsion to spend money on them.
