Health officials urge public to be aware of flu danger

My sisiter took the shot in Roswell last Thursday. Friday night she wasin the hospital getting out Monday morning but still sick as a dog. Enough said!

Maybe I should consider myself lucky that they ran out of flu shots at the Memorial Medical Center clinic before I got there.

My wife and I are both EMT's with a county FD. To date the county has stonewalled providing any H1N1 protection for health responders; and until they do, we're not answering any "sick person" calls. we have no intention of putting our health, and possibly life, at risk for these nabobs.

Screw that flu shot, keep your hands clean and keep your distance from people when talking to them. Why would anyone want to inject that poison into them?

The last flu shot I took was a mandatory one while in the service. I was sick for a week. That was in 1982 and I have not taken a shot since then nor have I gotten sick.

Roswell? Must have been one of those E.T. shots!:)

should have been told that flu vaccine doesn't start working until two weeks after it's given. ask your doctor. if she went into the hospital, it's likely she was sick before she even got the vaccine.

go ahead and don't get it, conspiracy nuts. leave it for those of us with common sense.
