The doctor I work for recommended that I not get a flu shot, he never has either. He says the flu shots are not able to protect you from any new strains of influenza simply because there is no way to be protected against something new. He says with my immune system in the shape it is because of celiacs, it may be even more damaging to get the shot, than not. It is strange, I rarely ever get viruses anyways. I work with the public and often times I think you slowly build an intolerance to viruses.

I do not think I would ever get a shingles shot, I would be too worried I would get shingles from it and shingles is a very painful virus to have and it never leaves your body, that is even more scary.
