There are reports of an influenza epidemic on the west Coats of the uSA, which is starting to move eastwards.
If you are travelling to the West Coast, it may be in your best interests to get a flu jab, which takes two weeks to get into your system

There is...wow...new's here..I mean yes there are a few people walking around with the good old flu..but epidemic..oh well if it makes you feel happy go for it,but please remember we went through something like this last year,with the media acting like it was the end of the world,this had a knock on effect where everyone rushed to get the shot,leading to shortages for the people who need it most,the very young or the very old,so please think twice before getting a jab.

I would hope that the old and young would have already had the jab by now. I gather that stocks are high at the moment.
What i would prefer is for people visiting the west coast NOT to bring it back here thank you very much, not an Americian import we want
