Summary: An interview with Dale Peterson, MD (http://www.drdalepeterson.com/index.php). About thirty years ago only 15% of elderly Americans received the flu shot. Today the CDC (Centers for disease Control) (http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/flushot.htm) is recommending flu shots for everyone over the age of six months. Tune in to hear what impact this wide-ranging vaccination program has had on the elderly and those most at risk for flu-related deaths. The results will surprise you. I'll be discussing how flu vaccines are produced, how the experts decide what flu strains to vaccinate against, what some of the unlikely ingredients are that you'll find in the flu vaccine "cocktail" and what happens if the experts are wrong. If you had the flu shot last year, tune in to hear whether you need to get it again. You'll learn how the drug companies disagree with the CDC and why this might impact the health of you and your baby. I'll also be discussing a novel approach that might shorten flu symptoms if you become one of the unlucky persons to get the flu. Please join me for an enlightening program and hear what you're NOT being told about flu shots.
