I know shots don't always keep us from not being ill, but with some things they do. I was just taking a poll to find out what's going on with the "virus scene" here!!
Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. I remember the first year I got the flu shot. I came down with the flu but was saved the severe symptons that come with it.

It's very smart to get the vaccine for shingles as they are very painful.

The pnuemonia shot is necessary also. My doctor said it won't stop you from getting pnuemonia but it will prevent you from dying from it. He's not exactly Mr. Warmth.

Most people get colds from touching the same surfaces that people who do have colds and not from kissing/hugging.

Gracie, you are safe.
