Yup - I meant Hep A & B shots - not the disease!

Read in the paper today that there's a rush to get flu shots (human nature I suppose) because of the shortage. If I didn't travel so much, then I'd hold off & let the young/older get the shots.

But w/ the amount of travel we do, think it's prudent. I came off a long trip in Sept & managed to come down w/ cold/sinus infection & now abcess in ear canal & am on drugs to sort out all that. I'm hoping that will be the last of it for me for this year/winter.

BTW - an alternative for those btwn the ages of 18-49 is the flu inhalent rather than injection. Doesn't work for very young or old.

Cheers. Sharon
