Maybe these are famous last words, but I just don’t bother with flu shot.
I figure the benefits don’t outweigh the costs.
So I get a little flu - generally the worst of it is a week down time. Why bother the slight risk of other problems, esp. the “flu reaction” that often follows the shot?
A few years back I had our son get a shot because of that Ebola scare - in the hopes that it would help clarify if anything was seriously wrong by keeping flu away. But that was it.
Maybe you could try the Vitamin C prevention plan. It’s incredibly cheap, you can buy it over the counter in any drugstore or supermarket or even in the Dollar Store. I get 1000 mg tablets at RiteAid drugstore. Take three a day, It is water soluble and you eliminate what you don’t use, so no risk of overdose. .
Stay healthy, FRiend.
