If you really want to avoid getting the flu the best way to do so is to get an influenza vaccine.....see http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/keyfacts.htm

They will run you about 26 dollars and there are plenty of them this year.

It not too late to get one either!

Other than that take care of yourself and wash your hands often!

i already got my vaccine, i just have the common head cold. although it is quite annoying. My boyfriend's Mom's boyfriend (lol) is an EMT, and he brought home some extra vaccines.

I have been absolutely miserable for 2 to 3 weeks, but it's not the flu and it's not a cold. I'm off to see my regular doctor in about 30 minutes, and then I'll find out if they need to take out my gall bladder. :puke2: Just after I thought I'd gotten a hang on that, and the meds I needed, I got a peritonitis abscess. :sick: At this point it seems to be going away with antibiotic treatment. So hopefully they won't have to take out my tonsils as well.

I'm thrilled that I managed to eat turkey dinner, as the whole throat infection makes it very painful to swallow.
