re: families who dont get the flu shot

Quoting Rabbit™:" I have ITP and Chronic Granulocytosis. I know I need to get one, I was just hoping to skate by this ... [snip!] ... put me in the hospital. A few months later I got the seasonal strain and was miserable until two months after I delivered."

Yea I get A the flu shot and Cy (but Cylus is just because I dont' want to like chance it with him since when he gets sick he really gets knocked down) but A has ashtmatic episodes so even a cold lasts 2x's as long for her and we have to go through steroids and such for her anytime she is sick.  


Also, I heard the flu is lasting like 2-3 weeks this year.
