[tri-med] Re: Pneumonia - Tess

kam gets flu vax every year.  last year everyone in the house did.  several
kids in colorado died from the flu last year.
i think her pneumonia vax is good for 2 or 3 yrs.  she does get it when ever
she is elligible tho.
what is the last one?  derk is supposed to get a $75 shot not covered by
insurance as college students are at high risk...???
