Flu season's back

[Airscrew]

I'll tell ya'll somthin,.... 20 years in the air force,  I got a flu shot each and every year.  and each and every year I got the flu, 3 days, 4 days, miserable.   so did other people I knew.  We always said the flu shot gave us the flu and the experts told us phewy... you probably already had the flu before you got your flu shot....Or they told us it probably wasnt the flu, just some other random bug we caught...

well now,  I've been retired since 99, I have not gotten a yearly flu shot since then. 9 years, no flu shots...  And I have never, and I mean never, since 99 gotten the flu or been sick like that since...

Actually the flu shot can give you a reaction that resebles the flu only milder. They warn the elderly that usually are the once getting it here. If you are young, fit and dont hold a vital postion of some kind they actually will tell you that you are better off not taking it and let nature and the immune system deal with the flu IF you get it.
