Why Flu Vaccination Matters: Personal Stories from Families Affected by Flu

The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention put out the following 7 minute video of personal stories from families affected adversely by flu, to remind us of the dangers. While the deaths of less than about 100 small children result from seasonal influenza or its complications every year, this number can swell to thousands, even tens of thousands, during a severe pandemic, and the number of older children and young adults whose lives may be lost can also be substantially greater than anything seen during a regular flu year.



Despite the fact that, to date, the new swine flu strain SEEMS to give rise (most of the time) to fairly mild cases of illness, pandemic flu is completely unpredictable and you need to educate yourself ahead of time so that you will be prepared for any eventuality.

I strongly recommend getting a copy of the book "Survive Pandemic Flu: Understand and Protect Against Novel Strains Of Influenza".

Read the first 45 pages of Survive Pandemic Flu to learn the extraordinary story of pandemic influenza in the 20th century, and the public health ramifications brought on by the newly-emerging swine flu virus of 2009.

This is a story that every family needs to understand, so that they may prepare ahead of time, and be ready for any development in this ongoing threat.

You can find out more about the book at www.SurvivePandemicFlu.com

Unless you feel convinced that you are immune to swine flu, this is one book you will want to have read by the time the virus appears at your front door.
