Subject: RE: BS: OK Folks, It's Flu Shot Time
Good thing to get seen after an animal bite. You know one of the worst? Your pet cat. Those punctures can deliver a whole bunch of nasty germs and they get infected in a hurry. For some reason dog bites, other than the trauma, don't seem to have the same load of bacteria.

Back to shots in general: I just read about the latest Omicron BA.2.75.2. It is again dodging or neutralizing the antibodies in blood and resisting some of the monoclonal antibody treatments. This isn't over and it isn't finished getting worse. If you can avoid flu, do so. It's one less thing to worry about as COVID mutates.
