How 'bout the Polio vaccine? Small Pox? Where do you draw the line?

Serious question -- or as serious as the LTE can get: does polio or small pox mutate like the flu? I have the (highly indicated) sense that "the flu" mutates and is highly variable, whereas the ones you mention are fairly static. So a flu shot may or may not innoculate against a particular strain of influenza, whereas the others are somewhat known and stable viruses.
I post this knowing that many of you took Bonkistry, and my sister lurker doctors may once again exploit my ignorance on all things medical. But there seems to be a difference between the flu and those you list.
Anyway, hope whoever has it, shakes it.
Signed, your local poly sci/history major.
My limited understanding of the vaccines are that they must predict strains before the season, such that you may be unprotected against a particular strain. I think that is likely what happened with me. It appears to have run its course. As my signature picture shows(down below), I used a lot of Kleenex.
Happy New Year's Eve, you kooks!
Ready to enjoy THE football game and I've even got the blackeye peas soaking (gonna cook 'em w/smoked turkey wings) and V-8 juice ready for the 1/1/14 bloody marys.
Look at me, so organized!
Ah, a brand new year. Duke basketball is playing with zip and promise, and Duke football is not only relevant but rising on the national stage. A chance to enjoy old friends and make new ones.
To 2014: may your smiles be wide, your coffee good, and may health and prosperity follow us all!
Well, I was in the hotel room just waking up. But, yeah.
Got a tough situation to start the new year -- just opened a bottle of wine that I have never had before. Not good enough to really enjoy, not bad enough to toss. Not sure if it is corked, doesn't really taste wrong in "that" way.
Didn't plan on tough decisions today.
This New Year's resolution: stop making promising that I am unlikely to keep.
Did Brody really die in Homeland, or did they pull a switcherroooo?
Anyone see this video of what i can only imagine is a heavily intoxicated Bama fan at the Rose Bowl? Pretty hillarious.
I assume you meant Sugar Bowl.
Anyway, here's the LA Times write up on it.
I'm in the mountains of NC and the thermometer says 7 degrees, while the weather channel says 1 degree. Bring your critters in and stay warm!
Im im western NC as well (Asheville) my latest reading said 9 degrees...tomorrow the low is -9...wow! Bundle up bud, its about to get frigid!
It is supposed to get into the high teens here in parts of San Antonio. I don't think my part of town will see that, mainly the northern hills.
Here in Hillsboro, FL they are predicting an over-night low of 47. High tomorrow of 65.
