just went to the doc on Monday and talked to him about the H1N1 and flu vaccines, coz i'll be coming to the US for a month, and so i figured i should protect myself against H1N1 or any other flu strain. Not used to the weather, it might make things worse. Out here in Singapore, its rather warm year round, so I think we have a shorter and less deadly flu season.

My doc was explaining to me, that the seasonal flu shots are basically comprised of about 3 different strains of flu. These strains change very often. Almost every year. Thats why people who actually need to take flu shots, need to take them every time the strains change. In fact, he was telling me how, the shots at his clinic are the new batch, came out in September and meant to go through 2010, but he has already received information that the new flu shot will be out in April with 3 new strains...

As for the H1N1 vaccine, we'll need to wait and see when it gets in. And if i'll be in time to take it.

I was kinda freaked though. I wondered if it would do anything to me...
