flu shot
How important is it? Do you get it every year? If you do, do you believe it helped you in the previous years?
I am serious in my asking here, because you see, everyone of us is due for a flu shot soon. Unfortunately, the health department here in our county run out of vaccines so when I called today to make an appointment, I was told to call again in December because that’s when the supplies will arrive. I can get it for less though using swithart’s health insurance at the university and Triz is fine wherever she gets it. But it’s MIL and FIL that have the problem of where to get it. There’s a Flumist which isn’t a shot but a nasal drop that’s being given by pharmacies like Walgreens and at Miejer, also at Jewel-Osco, but I’ve read in the Flumist website that it’s only being given to above 2 years old and below 40 years old. So Ma and Pa aren’t eligible. Now thay’re kind of in a panic, because MIL wants to get one badly. We do know a doctor here though, a family friend who are also Filipinos and has a clinic here in town but theirs cost $35 per shot. So we’ll see if we’ll decide to have theirs there. We’re still inquiring though where we can get it the cheapest. As for me and swithart, nah… we’ve survived the previous years without it so I guess we’ll be fine for this year. Hopefully.
So tell me about it, the flu shot– is is a need for you?
We all get Flu shots in my family. I think it’s worth the cost. My daughter is 9yo now and she has been getting it every year, even before they made it mandatory for her age group. My kids are both in school where they get exposed to all sorts of illnesses. With the Flu shot, we rarely get sick if ever and if we do, it’s not as bad as if we didn’t have the shot.
Everyone in our family gets flu shots too.
My husband is a healthcare worker and he is exposed to many patients who have flu throughout the fall and winter.
We’ve been getting flu shots for 22years, and during that time we haven’t had the flu at all.
