I have not had a flu shot but will likely get one this year. Why? It is free in Ontario. Plus, the nearby USA is short and, depending on whether it is a the flop or flip that Dubya is spouting on a given day, may want our stash and/or create a bigger outbreak through bad luck. Besides, Health Canada has a kind of odd web animated map of the spread of the flu in Canada this year. Both the doctor and Kim have reminded me.

I haven't had one and I suppose I really should, especially since there are so many people coming into Canada that won't have had access to one.

We have traditionally avoided over concerns about components of the stuff they give you but I think this year the risks are bigger not taking it as taking it.
