Canada Cancels Flu Shots?

This morning, on the way to work, I heard some very interesting information about flu shots.


It seems that if you received a seasonal flu shot last year, you are more likely to get the swine flu. More likely, not less. This is according to a study which has not been published yet, but has Canadian Officials thinking about canceling the rollout of swine flu vaccine, which was scheduled for later this month, October, 2009. Very interesting.

Drawn from a series of studies from British Columbia, Quebec and Ontario, the findings appear to suggest that people who got a seasonal flu shot last year are about twice as likely to catch swine flu as people who didn’t.
