Default Trying not to stress about the flu strains in the news

Hello,

--The regular flu shot is available now. Our nearby Walgreens will have the shots ready Oct 1.

--The H1N1 flu shots are not supposed to be here until mid October or so -- and could be too late.

For some reason I am stressing about the flu/s this year.
Normally I don't get a flu shot but this year I told hubby I want us to get the shots.

For one thing, getting the shot gives you immunity so that others around you with immuno-crompromised systems who cannot get the shots are safe around you.
When I thought about my friend getting chemo, I decided to get the shots.

A student asked me for some hand sanitizer yesterday. I had plain alchohol but she didn't want that.
Today I bought hand sanitizer for both hubby and me to put on our desks to make it easy for students to grab if they want some.

I hope the flu season goes safely and quickly for all.
