i know a lot of people disagree with getting flu shots. will you be getting one?
i did and i'm achy, not sick, but that body-ache thing. it is an attenuated virus used for the vaccine, so there is always the potential for a mild case of flu resulting from the vaccine.
but i still get one every year, it beats a raging case of full-blown flu. and even so, you never know if they targeted the right strain of flu that will go around. it's like russian roulette.
