Flu shots
There are so many reports from the medical community about getting the flu shot this year. I find it interesting that so many people ignor the facts that the shot reduces the severity if you should get the bug, reduces the chance that you will pass the bug to someone else, and that the youngest and oldest of our population are more at risk. Here in the Villages, if you are on Medicare, the shot is free at one of the many clinics that are held in the fall. So, unless there is a medical reason for an individual, we should all plan to get the shot, so that we stay a healthy community. I just recently was sick and I believe it was a mild form of the flu. It took a good week for me to really function, and I still have that tickley cough that keeps you up at night.
