Flu shot or not?


Published: October 27, 2010 by hiccups Comment on this article Leave a comment

Today, my four-year-old and I both endured the same pain – our annual flu shots.  But for my little guy, it’s not yet over. He has to go back in a month to get a second dose because this year’s flu shot also includes resistance to H1N1.

I have many friends who have strong opinions about flu shots. They either swear by them or swear against them.  I, having had the flu two winters ago, now swear by them. But some, who have never had the flu, say “why fix something that isn’t broken?”

So will you be getting your kids and/or yourself the flu vaccine this year?  Answer below.
