Should I get the flu vaccine?
If you haven’t gotten the flu vaccine there is still time to do it. The Centers for Disease Control recommends basically everyone other than healthy individuals between the ages of 5-50 with no medical problems should get the vaccine every single year. Even healthy adults and kids are less likely to get influenza and less likely to spread it to less healthy people if they get the shot. Unlike recent years, supply of vaccine is good. There is no excuse to not get the vaccine, unless you have had an allergic reaction to it in the past. Fortunately we have not had a serious outbreak of influenza in several years. Let’s keep it that way.
