I’m taking my school age kid to get one in a few weeks.

We got the flu last year, even though we’d been vaccinated, although it was much less severe than if we’d now been vaccinated. My kid was in Public school. He got it first, and then me. He got Tamiflu through his pediatrician. I toughed it our for 5 days. It was not any where like the full on, no vaccine flu.

GET YOUR FLU SHOT ASAP!
