You sat there and wrote down all that information during a visit to your doctor??? No! You took it from an ad from a natural health website. I don't know where you got the rest of it, but I (personally) don't' believe most of it. It sounds like a lot of hype to me.
It is a known fact that adults over the age of 65 in particular, should always get a flu shot. It is also a known fact that the vaccine each is a guess predicated on previous years' flus, but generally speaking, a pretty good guess. In addition, each year you get a shot, you are further building up a resistance for following years, not just for the year in which you get the shot.
Anyone who thinks they may not come down with the flu is foolish. Anyone can contract the flu. My opinion also, is that anyone who doesn't get a shot, particularly a senior adult, is also foolish. At our age if we come down with the flu it can easily turn into pneumonia and then guess what? You might die!
