Cold and Flu Season

It's that time of the year again. Cold and flu ready to attack your body and knock you down for the count. If you are one of those people that refuse to get a flu shot because it makes you sick, think again. The live virus is no longer used when giving the flu shot. The worst you should feel is soreness from the shot and minor symptoms that can be controlled with Tylenol. Get the flu shot especially if you are under 14, have a chronic health condition or are a senior citizen. And if you fall in between the cracks...get one anyway. Take this from experience. The year I didn't get the shot, I was sick in November..got somewhat better, and was sick again in December. The whole 2 months of being sick, could have been avoided if I only got my flu shot. Don't make the same mistake I did.
