This is the kind of shot that maybe discomforting at first but is all worth the pain. A flu shot. A vaccine against the Influenza virus.
I have been invited to a Flu Awareness Seminar and I’d like to share 10 things about Flu that I learned from the talk by Dr. Ruby Dizon of Sanofi Pasteur.
- Cannot be treated with antibiotics – Flu is a viral infection, antibiotics are for bacterial infection hence, antiobiotics are not effective for flu.
- Influenza is a respiratory virus but it is different from the common cold virus.
- There are three types of flu - Type A (serious, most common), B, and C (avian).
- The flu last for about 3-5 days, which can develop to more sever symptoms like pneumonia, dehydration, ear infection, etc.
- In the Philippines, flu is most common during the rainy season or between June to August and colder months from December to February.
- A vaccine is effective for about a year. If you plan to get it, better to have it on March when the new vaccines for the new strain has been prepared. Having flu shots on March will cover both the rainy and cold months for the new strain.

In WordCamp 2008, I met the very accomodating and warm people from Nuffnang. They encouraged us to sign up. It was done in about five to ten minutes. That easy.
As I am also new to blogging and advertisements, I had sooo many questions that they patiently answered. I even asked what Nuffnang means, and they said it’s a slang for “cool”. Although the registration was a breeze, I was not having high hopes on managing my Nuffnang account.
Other affiliate programs or blog advsertisement companies tend to have very complicated interfaces and also the informartion are either too much or too little. With Nuffnang, you can breeze through the member’s portal just like in the sign up. No messy graphs, complicated numbers, etc. What bloggers basically need is what we get.
