[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 642447, member: 1963"] What happened with this year's vaccine was that the main virus in the vaccine mutated after the vaccine was developed. It takes several months to develop,test, and manufacture the vaccine. There is no way that they can get a new vaccine ready in time. All we can do is practice good safety measures. The biggest one of all is to not touch our faces when/after being out and around. The two methods of transmission are breathing in the virus when someone coughs or sneezes near you and touching one's eyes, nose, or mouth after touching a surface that an infected person has recently touched. We obviously can't avoid the first method, but we can avoid the second to a large degree. Though I hate the stuff with a passion because it tears up my skin, I am carrying a small bottle of hand sanitizer with me, and using it. I am sanitizing shopping carts before use. I am doing my errands as early as I can to avoid crowded stores and lessen the chances of getting coughed or sneezed on. I am avoiding places where children gather. Healthiest regards to everyone. toK [/QUOTE]
