Despite the big scare and the hype, and the money...on 30% of the population in Canada got the flu shot....they purchased 50 million doses (population is 33 million) so that leave around 40 million doses that were paid for but will not be used. And, there were less than 200 deaths from the flu. And now it's not the flu going around but the seasonal cold. (Which I always get at this time of the year)

I just heard on the news today that they're recalling a batch of the vaccine because it' is loosing it's effectiveness far too soon, making getting the shot useless.
