U of M study: Flu shots fall short of 'consistent' high-level protection

U of M study: Flu shots fall short of 'consistent' high-level protection New studies suggest that existing vaccines have a "track record of substantial safety and moderate efficacy," researchers wrote, but fall short of the "consistent high-level protection" that's needed.

Lori Schlieve, Devils Lake, letter: Gardasil is about cancer, not sex

Considering that in “old times,” it was customary for our ancestors to be married off and bearing children as young as 12 and 13, those of us who have raised and are raising daughters in this day in age are required to be more than aware of what is happening in their lives and the world at large.

Time for flu shots, and some may get a tiny needle The first flu shot that works with a less-scary skin prick instead of an inch-long needle is hitting the market this fall. Sorry kids, this option so far is just for adults, and it's so brand-new that it will take some searching to find a dose.
