I don't know about you but I find it incredible that the greatest nation on Earth has to grovel to its "allies" France and Germany to get enough flu shots to cover its most needy population: the elderly and infirm.

Let's look for a second at the root of this problem.

You really don't need to go further than drug company greed to find the answers.

When asked why we can't come up with enough vaccine to make up for the foreign stuff that was tainted, the answer is: "There is not enough profit margin for American drug companies to make the vaccine.

How telling.

So now we still wind up going to foreign sources albeit different ones to get vaccine.

We have yet to be sure these are not also tainted!

This is not the first time this nonsense has happened.

Two years ago there was another shortage.

I remember it well.

Long lines angry people of all age groups, pushing and shoving and a few fist fights.

Not a good scene!

And then there was last year. If you recall they put the wrong strains in the vaccine. I can tell you a whole thundering herd of people got very sick and several died in my immediate area because of this!

This really undermined my faith in the whole flu vaccine.

Now this year we again have a shortage.

You tell me! Does this smell a little like a conspiracy to drive the price of vaccines up or what?

A lot of other people are fed up as well.

I have been getting a common question these days: " Doc is there anything other than the vaccine we can do to protect ourselves?"

Of course there is lots you can do and I will share it with you now.

Some of the most basic advice holds, but not everyone will be able to do it.
