More flu shot concern...

The November "Defending Good Science" newsletter highlighted some of the public concern and hysteria fueling the shortage of flu shots, primarily in the USA.

It's spreading to Canada, now as well - today's Globe and Mail is reporting that Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan will now only give the shot to high-risk seniors.

Meanwhile, as of this morning, the Ontario Ministry of Health is still telling people "Protect yourself and the people around you by getting a free flu shot. It’s never been easier."

It's nice to know that solid medical advice differs based on what side of a line you live on.
