Starks posted:I thought this wasn't the case where I am but actually it turns out pharmacies do offer this, I guess they're just bad at advertising it. I feel like most people I've talked to about it think you have to go to a doctor but I concede that I was wrong. honestly my province's website doesn't do a good job of highlighting that either: https://www.ontario.ca/page/flu-facts#section-1 . It says participating pharmacy as a flu shot option but there's no link or additional info. Virtually every pharmacy and grocery in the province has a flu shot program, and if you haven't seen the big "its flu season, get your shot from us" sign when you walk into your shoppers or loblaws, you need to spend less time on your phone.

Not getting the flu shot is really dumb and also selfish. Herd immunity is a real thing and yeah - maybe Billy Jo won’t die if she gets the flu, but then she might spread it to someone who will. Flu shots aren’t 100% effective because they aren’t always on target, but when you look at the huge numbers of infections each year, every little bit helps. This applies 100x to one time vaccinations for vaccine preventable diseases like measles. Polio is gone but stuff like measles is somehow coming back due to dumb-as-gently caress anti vaxxers.

redreader posted:I moved to the USA about 12 years ago and before that I was in the UK, before that South Africa. I had literally never, ever heard of flu shots before. When I moved to the USA I saw a lot of info about 'get your shots' and my work had a free shots day, and I went and sporadically got my shot/didn't get it for the next 3-4 years and since then I've gone every single year. The Dutch government only provides flu shots for over 60s and chronically ill. Anyone else needs a prescription from their physician and pay out of pocket. Apparently vaccinating young, healthy people only prevents one case per 64 inoculations and it's considered not effective enough to be worthwhile financially and medically.

My in-laws are in Jiangxi. Their housing complex has been barricaded. I'm spending my Saturday scouring locally owned hardware stores to buy masks. Even in suburban Tennessee, the chain stores have been wiped out.

Pawn 17 posted:I don’t think this is true at all. Might not be far off though if you’re conservative with numbers. CDC’s conservative estimate is 40% reduction in flu cases. Annual risk of flu illness per person is 5-20%. Doing the math: 40% of 5% = 2% which is equivalent to 1 in 50 inoculations being preventative. However if you use the other extreme you get 60% of 20% = 12% which is equivalent to 1 in 8 inoculations being preventative.

There's a bunch of people (serious business Healthcare professionals, not antivax types) arguing for and against maintaining flu shots for elderly/ill, etc . Haven't seen anyone arguing to expanding it to everyone iirc. https://eenvandaag.avrotros.nl/item/is-de-griepprik-wel-nodig/ Apparantly these are the review studies that caused the discussion years ago: https://www.cochrane.org/news/featured-review-three-updated-cochrane-reviews-assessing-effectiveness-influenza-vaccines First one has the claim of 71 vaccinations of healthy adults per prevented case.

FWIW I asked my friends in UK and South Africa when flu vaccines became normal/popular there and apparently the answer is around mid-late 00's.

This may have to do with the technology of predicting what kind of flu will be popular next season/big data collection. Just a guess.

EMT education also doesn’t include any immunolgy type stuff, and is mostly first aid, more severe trauma stuff, and “how to not have this person die right now”. There’s nothing about flu type stuff. Also, lots of EMTs are complete morons. Source:EMT for five+years.
