There is nothing to not to believe about having flu shots. Flue shots are designed to prevent Influenza virus, which is different than your common cold. Healthy people like you and me can fight it off because of our strong immune system. On the other hand, it should be given to babies of 6 months/ppl with immune suppressed/ pregnant woman and elderly. They are more prone to develop complications of flu because of not fighting it off naturally.

I say if you are prone to getting sick often during winter or flu season then its better to get it. There are no complications of this vaccine unless you are allergic to it. Nothing harmful getting into your body - its just a killed influenza viruses, which causes your body to produce antibody against Influenza. Just in case you get exposed to this virus later on, the antibodies will attack and kill them.

And Yes, I get my shot almost every yr.







Im too proud & mean.
