If you have not had the flu shot please get it while it is still available.

17. I am very skeptical about flu shots. Yes, use it for those most vulnerable, and those who

work with them, but are we going to say everyone in the nation should have a flu shot? I think that goes too far. The president is putting steps in place to improve healthcare access, but we also have a situation where employees often have very little time off for sickness compared to other developed nations, so the sick continue to turn up for work. spreading disease. Giving everyone a flu shot only offers limited protection, but those taking a shot are more likely to act as if they won't get flu. In the elderly, the participation rate has more than doubled in the last few decades, but hospitalization rates have increased at the same time. I don't agree with all this mass medication. You see the ads for medicines and they spend more time telling you about the side effects, but when it comes to flu shots we only get the hard sell and no negatives.
