The high school near me is having a day where you can get a flu shot for free! Free! I mean they're practically giving them away now anyway--Walgreens, CVS, etc -- is there really anyone who wants one who can't get one?
My dh went to his followup with his doc after his stroke. He got a flu shot. Why?? He's not "at risk". I said you know how I feel about that! He said I know but I was there and doc said I should so I did. Lame. I said next year when you go to your checkup he'll tell you to get it again. It used to be for infants and old folks and at risk people. Now it's everyone!
When I brought home my preemie baby I was told the entire family needed to get a flu shot to protect her and despite my uneasiness I did it for a couple of winters. Haven't since.
I just find this whole attitude that you're a responsible adult so you MUST get a flu shot is weird. Kind of like you're a woman so you must have your contraceptives free.
I hate seeing the signs for flu shots.
Everywhere has them available. Walked into Walmart and there's a table to get one. One of the sports teams my kid was on offered them to everyone after a practice one day. Give me a break.
Like the flu is the most important health issue we face.
