Wouldn't that be more like the 70's? I had the swine flu when I was about 7 years old. That would be about 1973.

I've had one every year for about the past ten years at least. My MS neuro recommends it because the flu can trigger MS symptoms.

If the body gets stressed with the flu, it might be more likely to have a flare up also?
