Do
you need the Flu shot?
Short
answer is: YES
A
lot of healthy people will say, “I never get the flu.” or “I’ve heard the shots
don’t work.” but in the grand scheme of things getting the flu shot isn’t just
about keeping yourself from getting the flu. By getting the flu vaccine you’re
also keeping your aging parents, grandparent, or younger family members from
getting sick. Sure, you may be able to fight off the flu within a week
without the vaccine but while you’re contagious you could come into contact
with a person with an weak immune system and for that person it could mean
hospital time or even death.
So
please consider getting the flu shot not only to cut down on your own sick days
but to also prevent the spread of the flu in your community.
