One of my parents' church friends has been out with the flu for almost 4 weeks. That's here in the Villages.
Got my flu shot last week for $12 (with empty pill bottle $3 coupon discount) at Publix. I usually get an ache around the needle entry point for a few days after a flu shot. That's why I waited so long. Plus, many people from the Northern climes are here and probably brought the flu with them from areas that have wider flu epidemics than here in the Villages.
Two of my Doggie Doo Run Run friends got the flu AFTER they got the flu shot. My guess is that there must be more than one strain going around.
