A distant cousin died in 1918. She was weakened from on-going tuberculosis, caught the flu and died. She was only 16. Her death certificate was amended from tuberculosis to influenza.

I’ve been getting the flu vaccine for probably 20 years. Sometimes I get a sore arm at the injection site for a day or so. I’ve never had anything worse than the sore arm. This time absolutely nothing at all.

I got the flu shot last week.

I did too. Quad Strength. While growing up, I heard too many stories about the flu of 1918. People would go to work fine in the morning, and be dead by five. It was virulent beyond imagination.
