If I wanted to protect myself from the flu, I would have no alternative this year but to take the mixed vaccine.
No vaccines for our family. Thanks anyway!
I had my flu shot yesterday. Other then the usual sore arm I’m fine. I think its a good idea to get the shot it cuts down on sick time.
I’ve never had the flu that I remember. May have had it as a child, but I doubt it. I will not take the flu shot ever. There is nothing wrong with an otherwise healthy person being down with the flu and staying home for a few days, imo. Others may disagree on grounds of not being able to afford to stay home, and that’s fine. I take supplements to boost my immune system and haven’t been sick in over 7 years so I’m not worried.
Take vitamin D-3 supplements or spend time under a proper sunlamp this winter and neither the flu nor colds will discomfort you nor will you be subject to the political and health side effects of the vaccine. My wife is a teacher and always used to bring home all the virii that her kids brought to school. Last school year we took 10,000 units of D-3 each per day and neither of us got anything respiratory for the whole school term. And it was cheaper than the shots.
