Bit of info regarding the bird flu. The only vaccine available at the moment is Tamiflu. It'll cost you AUD$50 for a packet of 10 tabs. Bargain the price at you chemist and you should get it cheaper!.
Symptoms are the same as for normal flu except that there is an apparent aching of bones. You are supposed to take the pills at the first sign of a sniffle, sneezing and runny nose etc.
Aching of bones?...Ross River Virus does the same thing, so does Malaria and the good ol' influenza!.
