How late is too late to get a flu shot?

[bbernardini]

The school in which I work offers flu shots for the teachers every year. This year, they're offering them during the first week in November. I might have the opportunity to get one earlier, although that might actually cost me. Is the first week of November too late for it to be really effective?

1. I think eyesroll can give you a pretty good flu show...

3. When you wake up with your head splitting....

...and Niagra Falls pouring out of your nostrils, and it feels like you swallowed a "PC" cat (intact) and he's spraying and clawing down there....

Then it's too late.
