If you got sick that many times, you probably DO have a built in immunity to many of the combination. But you should get a shot as a booster.

It’s important to remember, the flu is not a bad cold. Many people make that mistake. (I am not saying YOU—I don’t know you. I am addrsssing the general population.)

The flu will knock you down for at least a week. Down, in bed, and miserable. It’s a respiratory disease—not a stomach illness. If you miss a couple of days at work...you did not have the flu.

I’ve tried to convince people of this. I had the flu ONCE. Doctor gave me steroid pills and steroid breathing treatments, I was THIS close to being in an oxygen tent. Missed 10 days of work, was the sickest I ever remember being.

Since then, I get a flu shot every year. I’ve had a couple of colds since, but no flu, thank You, Lord!
