My Dr May

Some of the information I learned was new regarding how (in)effective the vaccine really may be – I didn’t realize the numbers were quite that low.

But I did know that the flu vaccine does change every year, and in that regard, isn’t the same every year, like other vaccines like the measels, etc.

I for one with this take my chances. I’ve only got the flu possibly twice in nearly 30 years. The last time was this past January. Did I miss a week of work? Sure. But I was probably just as likely to have gotten the flu even if I’d had the vaccine, as the strains they were targeting last year were the ones that were not as prevalent.
