Believe me the flu shots work! When I was employed I had the flu shots offered at work and I had them and I never had the flu! Now that I am retired I never got the flu shot and I wish I had! Please for you own sake get a flu shot!
If everybody is getting flu shots, why has the flu hit pandemic proportions? If it really worked, the flu wouldn't develop into a yearly health problem.
I had a flu shot in January of 1977, in the fall of that year, I got the flu like I had never had before. I have never have had another flu shot. Stay out of bars, hospitals, schools, airplanes, trains, restaurants, and wash your hands.
I had never received one until two years ago, got a new job and we get them free of charge, courtesy of the company, they want to ensure we keep productivity up with as little down time as possible. I have to say, this is a great policy as very few co-workers are ever out with the flu, compared to previous jobs I've held.

exactly, and for 20 seconds with water and soap. None of the bottled hand sanitizer! ;-)

"Stay out of bars, hospitals, schools, airplanes, trains, restaurants, and wash your hands."
Excellent advice, especially the hand-washing, done frequently (almost OCD style).

the vaccine is no longer what they call a live vaccine. But your recommendations, esp frequent hand washing, are excellent.

Stay healthy my friend, H4C wishes you a full recovery. :-)
Get plenty of rest and sleep and disinfect your computer keyboard and mouse more often too might help.
