It is his opinion that this is a very dangerous virus---that although most people have a run-of-the-mill flu case, in those where it turns dangerous, it does so very quickly and is quite lethal, especially to children and teens.<br /><br />I also find it unusual that they are offering the vaccine for free. If there were no concern about the virus being lethal or having a strong possibility to turn lethal, I don't see why they'd offer it for free. The seasonal flu vaccine isn't free, after all. That's just my theory which could be totally off-base.<br /><br />Another thing my brother brought up---flu season (meaning the seasonal flu) hasn't even begun yet. If someone were to get the two flus back to back, it could be really dangerous.<br /><br />So---even though I previously thought I wouldn't, I have decided that it is in our best interests for my kids to get the vaccine.andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352095306978900248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626062878350176712.post-55078481716729353692009-10-21T20:45:29.943-04:002009-10-21T20:45:29.943-04:00I haven't decided about my kids either and lik...I haven't decided about my kids either and like your schools, mine are giving the vaccine soon. The permission slips are here and need to be returned Friday.<br /><br />I'll check out Web MD. Thanks for the info.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.com
