Re: Flue Vaccine
What we have to understand about the flu is that it mutates into different forms every year. So any flu vaccine manufactured is based upon previous "versions" of the bug. That's why it's never 100% effective.
I have mixed feelings about the vaccine. I do understand the need to reduce the risk especially among the elderly and very young. But I've seen people get very sick after the flu shots to the point where you wonder if the vaccine shot was worth it at all.
Bottom line - I get the shot every year.

Jeff,

I haven't gotten the vaccine but so far my germophobia has saved me!
