Flu Shot

[Jigsalot]

Got mine today at shoppers in Beaumont. Didn’t book anything and they were not busy. Took 5 minutes

[graybeard]

Shoppers in Calgary. I called in at 0800 and at 0900 done.

By the time I wiped the tears from my eves and blew my nose it was all over; never felt a thing...

[artie]

Had a appointment at Coop in Calgary no waiting at all
I watched her put it in and it was the first time I noticed she threw it in like you would a dart
I guess that's how they do it.

This is flawed logic.

Flu shots are for girls.

It is flawed and not flawed. It is a matter of the people he knew ended up catching a different strain than the probably 3 that the officials figured would be here. The flu shot sure would be easier to buy into if stories like this were false.

You guys all know that the mark of the beast is in these vaccines, right? Let alone the tracking devices and programable sterilization bombs they insert in these things.

Bill Gates want's you to get the flu shot, why?

[Zip-in-Z]

From the website this season's flu shot will protect us against, Influenza A (H1N1), Influenza A (H3N2) & Influenza B. I read, it takes up to two weeks to build immunity after a flu shot.

I've seen some commercials on TV that advertise a high-dose flu vaccine called Fluzone that's available for grey hairs 65 and older who maybe at high risk. It says it provides superior protection over the standard dose vaccine. Next time I'm in Shoppers I'm going to ask my Pharmacist what the difference is.

Anyone here know ?

And they'll make you vote Liberal in the next election.

[Rvsask]

Of course I will, I always do. It’s gotta be a decade since I missed a work day due to illness. I know guys too tough to get it that miss double digit amount of days each year sick.

Sylvan NEWS - Hinshaw urges Albertans to get flu shot as COVID cases jump by 332.

The province’s chief medical officer of health is asking Albertans to get their flu shot amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Influenza is not new like COVID-19, but it is very serious. Last winter, almost 8,500 Albertans contracted the flu, and ultimately, 41 died,” Deena Hinshaw said during a COVID-19 update Friday afternoon.

“Getting immunized is an easy way to protect your health. The flu shot won’t prevent COVID-19, but it will reduce your chances of getting influenza and spreading it to others.”

The provincial government announced 332 new COVID-19 cases Friday. There are currently 2,836 active cases, 18,651 recovered cases and 288 deaths caused by the virus in Alberta.

Hinshaw said people getting immunized will help support Alberta’s pandemic response.

“We can’t yet prevent COVID-19 with a vaccine, but we can help stop the flu from taxing our health system,” she said.

“The more that we can avoid influenza-related tests, emergency visits and hospitalizations, the stronger our system will be to support those with COVID-19 and all other health needs.”

Starting Monday, the influenza vaccine will be available at participating pharmacies and doctor’s offices for anyone over the age of five, said Hinshaw.

The City of Red Deer now has 35 COVID-19 cases, according to geospatial mapping on the provincial government’s website. This is four more active cases than in Thursday’s update.

Meanwhile, Ponoka County has 39 active cases, the City of Lacombe has 12, Lacombe County and Mountain View County both have nine, Red Deer County has five, Olds has four and Sylvan Lake has two.

The central zone sits at 132 active cases, which is the lowest of all Alberta Health Services zones.

The Edmonton zone has 1,525 active cases, Calgary has 820, the south zone has 202, the north zone has 145 and 12 are located in an unknown location.

The City of Calgary is been placed on the government’s virus watch list, said Hinshaw.

“We have recently seen several outbreaks in that city linked to social gatherings, and this is yet another reminder that no region is immune from this virus and that one case can quickly lead to many if restrictions are not followed.”

Hinshaw said she is not recommending any additional measures for Calgary, “but we are working with local partners to monitor the situation closely.”

Provincially, 117 people are hospitalized due to the virus – 11 of those individuals have been admitted into an intensive care unit. The central zone has three hospitalizations, but none are in ICUs.

I wonder why they forgot to mention in ingredients mercury ?
Or is it save for Canadians ( must be poison proof) judging how mercury bulbs disposed in most places in Canada... and why it’s not mandatory to have national policy to recicle this poison but spend billions to catch fart from every cow or deer

I haven't had a flu shot in over 20 years and have never missed a day due to illness.

Never had the shot, but I did had one sick day, the best I can recall, the day was early Dec of 1995.

To letting our own immune system fight colds and the flu? The shots are 2-3 flu strains behind as it mutates .Giving you in effect last years flu hoping your body will build anti-bodies.

It has a preservative called Thimerosal that contains an organic form of ethyl mercury. Cant hurt you.

I started getting the flu shot when I was working in the oilfield. You don't want the flu when you work out of town and you have to do your 12 hour shift. Its different when you have a job that you can call in sick from. Some of us don't have that option.
