Wash your hands

Wash your hands, and drink plenty of liquids.

Stay away from crowds if you can. Otherwise, wash your hands a lot.

Flu Mist Doesn't Work

Next year, let's get the good old fashioned flu SHOTS!

Obviously the flu mist doesn't work and doesn't immunize children or teachers from the flu.

Perhaps all of Ragsdale discretionary funds should be embargoed to pay for real flu shots.

I kept meaning to get one and never getting a round tuit so it's a moot point here.

The CDC says that the ethylmercury found in the flu vaccine is not hazardous. Personally, I'd rather not risk the ethylmercury on a guess that last year's flu might mutate into the strain that the vaccine supposedly helps prevent. I don't allow my children to get the flu shot and I don't send them to school the day the flu mist is given. No, the flumist does not contact any mercury but it is a live strain of the flu.
