Better Get it NOW!

Posted by girlie on May 30, 2009

I swear, I don’t want to be in this situation again. Nope it’s not swine flu, otherwise you won’t be seeing the laptop there and I can’t go on with my online activities. It’s scary but we can help it. There are a number of things one can do to avoid getting it or the human flu for that matter. I know what to do and I am confident because I am protected.   Oh that photo? It happened late last year, yeah in the month of December when a lot of things are going on, you know celebrations here and there.  I missed a lot, good food, good company, beautiful memories with people I dearly love, all because I was down with a Flu. I was angry at myself because I knew all along that this can be avoided. My husband has been reminding me to get my Flu vaccine but I was too lazy to go and see our doctor, probably because I was doing a lot of things at that time. Sometimes we take this forgranted. We dismiss it as ordinary cough or merely fever. But did you know that flu can get deadly? Yeah I am not kidding. You can visit http://www.bakuna.ph to know more about it. Better yet, get yourselves vaccinated if you don’t want to end in bed just like me. Not in the month of December, or any month for that matter that you had to miss something grand just because you are down with a flu. I had my Vaxigrip “Bakuna” in the month of January and I’m glad I’m now protected. I will not be caught in the situation you see in the photo above since getting the flu vaccine helped build my immune system. Now will this keep me protected from swine flu too? My answer is no BUT since my immune system is strong, I’d like to believe that I won’t easily catch it. Thanks to sanofi Pasteur’s Flu Awareness Campaign, more people are now aware that they need to get Flu vaccine every year.

A tip from my daughter…when you are sick, it makes you feel a little better when you wear fluffy slippers. I don’t know where she got it from, but I think she’s kinda right. I wore fluffy sleepers on that day and I felt a little better…haha coincidence or what?
