My experience is that it may not prevent the flu totally but it keeps you from suffering and you are able to get through the day without severe symptons.
I have great success with the flu shot but some people don't believe in getting it.

I agree with Joe and JBlum too.

There is a bad cold going around our neighborhood. Whether it is the FLU-flu or something else I don't know.

I think being out and about and being with folks raises our immunity unless it is compromised by a serious illness. I am not a cart wiper for that reason.

I know. I am very opinionated...but I will NOT turn down a hug...it is good for my health and exposes me to germs that give my immune system a practice run.

Eating healthy and being in the sun is good too.

Dr. Mom....is IN.
