If anyone persists in asking you if you are sure you “really” have it, cough in their direction!

Heh heh...

The swine flu equivalent of "whattaya gonna do all day?"

Uh, oh,

The fact that most of the family got it together definitely exacerbated matters, and we will definitely get the vaccine once it becomes available. Apparently, having had it once is no guarantee against getting it again.

My HMO is out of the swine flu vaccine.

My clinic has no swine flu vaccine or seasonal flu vaccine. They do have many colorful posted notices about the importance of getting immunized against the flu.

Fun with the immunization clinic: Did you ever notice the peculiar way they refer to immunizations?
Them: "Are you here to get Hep A? Oh, I see you are current for tetanus, but you need typhoid."

Me: "Hey, I don't 'need' Hep A or typhoid, that's why I'm here today."

I'm sure they hear this wiseacre remark 20 times per day--but it entertains me, so I can't resist.

I need typhoid. I had that sucker once, and I really miss it.

One time a young nurse at a doc-in-the-box said to me, "Come get your rabies...". I nearly ran out the door.
