I Need A Booster


I caught a new cold virus strain! I was down with colds (thank God, no cough followed) last week. Though this time, it's not that debilitating like my previous episodes with cold & cough viruses. Still, I was able to do my field work last week. I was in Nueva Ecija for 3 days. This is because of the flu vaccine shot I got last year. But now, I need a booster shot. Too bad, I have not seen an e-mail announcement from our mother company for free flu vaccine shot. I have to take double dose of vitamin C and drink lots of water because it seems that everyone has colds, at least in our office. Those that are recovering from the colds are the potential carrier and shedder of the virus.

Can you imagine how many billion strains of viruses that lived in our environment? One can never be infected with the same virus strain again. So, if you compute the average times you caught a cold in a year, times your current age....hhhmmmmm, i don't want to know....
