Went ahead and got the flu shot yesterday morning.17 straight years now.
Started in 1990,a couple of months before my son was born.
We owned & operated a grocery store in the Hill Country of Texas.With all the people I was in contact with and the handling of cash,I was a prime target for the flu.
With my then-wife was due in a couple of months with my 1 and only child, I hoped gettting a flu shot would prevent me from getting it and then passing it on to her.Figured that would not be good.
Whether it was due to the shot or not,I didn't and she didn't get the flu.
