To each their own. If it makes you feel better to get, by all means, continue to get it. |
Well all I know with my experience is if my Grandmother can not afforded to get the flu otherwise she would be in the hospital and it might kill her. My uncle the same thing. My doctor gets one and she recommends them I trust my doctor. A family friend had a 3 month old die of the flu. The flu is just not a good thing for so many and it kills way more then a shot does. The thing is we all are never going to live forever all we can do it try to protect our self for the now not the next year not the next five years.
