I've always been a bit leery of flu shots, but I've been getting them (although I haven't got mine for this year yet) Also the pneumonia shot and starting next year the shingles vaccine..... I really thought all those vaccinations ended when I was a kid!
Thanks for the heads up Dave!
The rheumatologist said there's a dead version (that sounds morbid!) Insurance here sometimes won't cover it until you're 60 so I'm waiting till next year. I'll definitely be asking for more info before getting that one.
