Influenza (flu) season is upon us. With the CDC's latest information on the effectiveness of drugs used to fight influenza, it is important to get vaccinated for the flu this year.

Finding a clinic is easy with the American Lung Association's Flu Clinic Locator.

To find a flu clinic in your area, enter your zip code into the Flu Clinic Locator site. You will get the date, times, address, and phone number of the clinics offering flu shots near you, as well as a map showing where the clinic is located. The American Lung Association updates the Locator daily, so you will always get the most up-to-date flu clinic information.

Note: The seasonal vaccines for the human flu, Amantadine (brand name Symmetrel) and Rimantadine (brand name Flumadine) are not effective against the current strain of swine flu, H1N1. Information concerning the availability of H1N1 vaccinations is still forthcoming, so please be aware of the most up-to-date information via the news.

Got mine today!

Mike.

That's one illness I won't be spreading around next month in Philly.

Got mine!

I had a pet bird called Influenza but it flu away.

When I was a little boy, my creepy old uncle took me aside one evening and quietly told me
to close the window and make sure it stayed closed.
I asked him why and he said, in a horror narrator voice "Because once I opened the window and IN FLEW ENZA!"
Well that scared the living **** out of me when he did it and I just got a chill reliving it.
I better go close the windows.
