I know I shouldn't post this and jinx myself. I never take the shot and I've only had the flu once.
You must have missed all the reports on the 2017 flu shot not being a good match. Some years it is a good match 40%-60% effective some years not a good match. They won't know about this years flu shot until the data comes in.
Check this chart from CDC https://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/vaccination/effectiveness-studies.htm
BTW, I got my flu shot last month.
i'm gonna get one at the VA before i start the plan C chemo, i always have a mild reaction to the shot, but it ain't the flu. and i need to get my head shaved so if it starts itching again i can put something on the itch other than my claws
I haven't had the flu since the Air Force marched me down to the man with the injection gun, gave it to me year after year in the mid 70's. Hong Kong, Swine, etc. Still have the shot records to prove it. Loved every minute of it.
