PSA: Flu shots not just for yourself
Dec. 6th, 2006 04:35 pmI read a flyer today that reminded me it was The Edge of Flu Season, and it's not too late to get a shot if you want one. I usually don't because I usually don't get the flu and I don't care for extra drugs and stuff when I don't need them.
BUT, for those of you that might be thinking the same thing...are you in close contact with anyone that has a compromised immune system (chemo, HIV, anti-rejection drugs, etc)?
If you live with someone that does you might consider getting a vaccination so you are less likely to get it and pass it on to those more vulnerable - or at least talking to a doctor about it.
