Just wondering how people feel about the Flu Shot? I've been getting mine for about the last 10 years. And glad I do! If it even lessens my chance for getting it or even helps give me an milder case, I'm all for it.
I hear people every year say, they'll never get one because you'll get sick. I call Hog Wash, I've never felt bad after getting it! I'll turn 60 in December and have enough medical issues, as it is and the Flu shouldn't be one one of them!!
I got mine last week, and my wife and Grandson have already had theirs. Our insurance covers ours. But if it didn't, I wouldn't let $40 stand in my way. And we were at Wally World Saturday and they even give it!
In this day and time, there is NO reason to get sick and miss a weeks work (maybe more) over the fear of a simple shot. Just my humble opinion!
A 1991 paper revised the mortality as being in the range 24.7–39.3 million. This paper suggests that it was of the order of 50 million.
In the 20th century there have been 4 pandemic (1918/19, 1957/58, 1968/69 and 1977) due to the emergence of new subtypes of influenza A virus.
Generally true I guess except that they've come up with a second, newer pneumonia vaccine. The new recommendation from the CDC is to get both but my doctor says I need to wait 12 months past the first shot (which was the older vaccine) to get the newer one.I got my first pneumonia shot last year. They said it was good for 5 years?
Yes I do for the past few years; but I did have my feelings hurt last year by my crotchety old pharmacist.
It was a cold day, and I had on a jacket, which I removed, and asked if I should remove my long-sleeved long john shirt for the shot.
The old *#%* said: "hell naw, you want to run all my customers out" ?
My girl-friend says I still look good bare-chested.........for 74 !
