Pam

I have been getting the flu shot for about 5 years now. Its something
that is required now by my doctor. But it was something I had started
asking for before this doctor.

I also get the pnemonuia shot because I'm prone to both that and bronchitus.
As it happens this particular shot last for 3 years. I believe I'm due it next
year. I find it very interesting the year before I got this shot, is I believe
the year I ended up in the hospital over christmas and new year with bronchitus that they had thought was pnemonuia one of the days I ended up
in the hospital. I haven't had either the last two years.

So it seems its been working. I also don't believe other than small doses of
flu that I've had it either.

Wow, I have had great luck.

On an other note, Derrick has been supposed to get it for many years. THe
year before we started, because the doc didn't believe me. He had it for 4 weeks. Off and on. Then he didn't get it because I couldn't find it last year.
Thanks to the shortages up here. We got lucky he didnt' get it.
THis year he got it again. Thanks to the school giving it.

well, i got it (the shot) for the first time ever this year.
got sick 4 times. 'course had i not had it.... i might have been sick 5 or 6?

we gotta remember, the flu shot does not protect against all viral strains, nor the common cold, nor bacterial infections....

anyway, glad to hear you are all on the mend now, Pam. Weather's warming up too now, hope you stay well.

I guess it's time, getting older stinks and the shot might help lessen the impact of the actual flu if we get it. My head aches today, and my throat hurts, but NO chills, fever of 99.8 but that's okay, I don't have chills. LOL! Thanks for caring, you guys are the best!
