It is untrue that doctors and nurses mostly avoid getting the flu vaccine. First, it would be dangerous to care for patients and carry the flu to them. After all, they care for compromised patients. Secondly, who in this day and age can avoid crowds for 6 months. Eating well and plenty of sleep is always good. Hand washing is a very good idea as viruses can remain transmittable on surfaces for a long time. Also, avoid touching your face. If you feel ill (including if you have a sore throat, feel like you are getting a cold, feverish or chilled, achy) please stay home. Don't expose everyone else including children, elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
