That was the exact flu vax shot I had a couple of months ago Jay. Most people here aren't really worried about it. People who have had regular seasonal flu have been much sicker at this point in time, which is also on the rise. That's why the powers that be are worried that it has a much greater chance of mutating here in the southern hemisphere. I think people are more surprised at how fast it has exploded here. Our total population is only 21 million with 1006 officially confirmed cases in just over 2 weeks. The media has finally back off a bit now and so has the hysteria.
