H1N1 went through our office. The colleague I share an office with was very sick along with her children...very sick...
We also had several healthy children in Eastern Ontario who got sick and died within hours, if not days, of an initial diagnosis and were under observation.
Our school had an absentee rate which was well above normal during the second wave, and this trend concerned me.
My concern was not about getting the flu, but the disporportionate rate of healthy people under 50, with no underlying conditions who experienced hospitalization with severe complications (kidney shut down, need for ventilators) or death.
I chose to get vaccinated and my children were also vaccinated.
