She will probably need a LOT of sick days off once the quadruple therapy has started, and this may be why she was at work now, until it is confirmed as TB or not.<br />If you and your family are up to datw with your vaccinations, then the risk to you is minimal - especially if you do not have an aquired immune deficiency disease (AIDS or HIV)Kirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916667890512807920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-49626313795122078542010-09-30T11:05:20.213+02:002010-09-30T11:05:20.213+02:00Jeepers...
