any recommendations for this winter period?

[joanmanuel]

what would you recommend to the foreign people that do not know how is the winter in Finland, I ask you this because now we are going to have the threat of the swine flu, do you recommend to have any kind of vaccine? how much it would cost to a foreigner to get a flu vaccine and where he could get one?

At least this swine flu seems to be a lot milder than it looked in the beginnig. They took old people off the vaccine program already a month ago, and today the babies and toddlers were taken off the program. Those who have had it (and doctors) say it is no more severe than an ordinary flu. So only severely ill (cancer?) people are recommended to take a vaccine. The only recommendations are frequent hand washing and no hand shaking.

Besides, vaccine isn´t even ready yet, so nobody can get it, at least not yet.
