If there was a vaccine for colds I'd be first in line.
they never will have a vaccine for colds.
like the flu, colds mutate, but a lot faster than flu does.
and there is nothing wrong with getting a flu shot, unless you are allergic to the components in the vaccine.
one other thing, the vaccine for flu, will not protect anyone from the 1918 version of the virus unless it is made from the 1918 virus.
and as some pointed out, it may not be a flu virus.
oh and the flu shot won't give you the flu, if properly prepared.
the symptoms will be like a mild case of flu because your immune system is attacking dead virus. that is the way the body builds up immunity
