Dear List,

Since last week I've been in contact with suffering flu patients on a daily basis. I've given a zillion flu shots, dispensed tons of Tamiflu and have been compounding Tamiflu in suspension form for children. We haven't been getting enough Tamiflu in to meet demand so please get the flu shot while you still have the 2 weeks needed to develop the antibodies needed to protect you from this years flu virus. It's a pretty good match. The injectable vaccine contains attenuated flu virus (dead) and you can NOT get the flu from it. A small percentage of people can develop a mild fever and or aches and pains for a couple of days but they are not getting the flu. It's just how their immune system and body are reacting.

If you do get the flu have your Doctor prescribe Tamiflu as soon as possible (within 48 hours) to help with the severity and duration. Hopefully you'll be able to find a pharmacy that has it in stock. We ran out just before I left today and I had to turn away a father with a very sick child...

If there weren't so many people sick this email would have been sent 2 hours ago. It was total chaos today... Stay healthy!

Paul

Hello Anne and Listers,

I would agree with getting a shot if it helps and can say it make the flu less 
intense. With me, it seems every years I get the flu shot I get sick at least 2 
to 3 times that year in the winter with something, and last year was my first 
time I didnt get a flu shot and did get sick per say in the winter, but got 
other ailment, but it is what it is. My question is, is there a big out break 
of the flu in AZ? I been here people in NYC with the flue and there sick for a 
couple weeks.

Thank you Dr. Rose.
I get a flu shot every year, there is nothing to it. And I can't remember the 
last time I had the flu!

So come on, get your shot today, and you'll be fine in 2 weeks.

Just my opinion, but it is worth getting the Flu shot. The vaccine this year is
a pretty good match to the influenza strain that is out there. And even if you
do get infected, the severity will be decreased.

Hey list,

Question in general, and more specifically for list members coming to
Tucson: if you haven't gotten one already, is it worth it to get a flu
shot before coming to Tucson?
