The flu shot is free – and it doesn’t hurt THAT much.
Flu shots – flu shots – not the hoped for COVID-19 vaccine – this is the normal seasonal flu we are to be protected against.
Great – the province has ordered more than 5 million doses and is spending $70 million.
So I can call my doctor’s office and head in for that quick jab in the arm?
How do I do that?
And that’s the rub – there is no protocol in place for all of us to get the flu shot.
Those in long term care homes are first on the list – good.
The seniors are next – so how do we seniors learn where we are supposed to go and when?
Have you noticed that the medical people tend to avoid email – so they will call me?
The pharmacies are said to be given permission to get into the game. That’s being worked out.
The province released step 1 in the six step plan they have to keep us all safe. Meanwhile the increase in people infected rises. No idea what the other five steps in that plan are – many suspect that just what those others steps are has yet to be worked out.
The graphic below is evidence enough – that curve is going in the wrong direction. And we the people are the only ones who can change its direction.
The slope of the curve is now rising steeper than it was when we had hit a peak.
