I waited to write this post until I got mine, which I did almost a week ago. Now it’s your turn.
Protect yourself from the flu. Protect others. And know what the flu (influenza) is: a viral infection. It cannot be treated with antibiotics. It presents with upper respiratory symptoms and fever. People with diabetes have a higher rate of hospitalization and death from the flu. Small children and elderly people are at risk. Kids living in college dorms are at risk.
Here’s the really good news: they’ve perfected this vaccination so the needles are smaller and it hurts less. I’m not making this up. I got my flu shot last week and I hardly felt it during or after.
Protect yourself and others. Thank you.
