Flu shot: you in or out? Oct13 '04
I recently received my annual flu vaccination. I feel safer, knowing that I have something to help me through the cold, harsh winter months, here in Chicago.
Lately, there has been word of a "shortage" of supply of flu vaccinations, and it’s affecting many people. The people that are at the most risk are anyone over 50, and very young children. So, I guess, since I’m in my mid–20’s, I could have "donated" my shot to someone who may need it more.
I understand that the flu vaccination only helps against ONE strain of the flu, and there are MANY strains that could affect someone. But... I still feel it’s providing SOME protection.
