Surveillance - H1N1 Flu Virus - Public Health Agency of Canada

there've been 115 documented deaths from H1N1 in the entire nation.
so I'm wondering why there isn't this kind of rush for shots for the seasonal flu. which kills more than 1000 each year in Toronto alone.
oy.

but those flu deaths aren't usually healthy individuals, they are individuals with other conditions that don't allow them to fight of normal flus.

h1n1 is taking lives of people who are healthy.

well the seasonal flu they tend to bring the vaccines to you more.

on campus they set up tables where they had people giving flu shots. for like a few days.

true, we usually have a clinic in the office, every november where we can sign up to receive the flu shot. this year it's delayed until jan 2010 as they aren't prepared due to h1n1.
