Flu - sm Posted: Oct 14th, 2017 - 7:46 am In Reply to: TSMs not very accessible. - oh well
So sorry you're not well and hope things improve quickly.
I had my flu shot last week. I usually feel mildly ill (achy and feverish) afterwards, but this year I had no reactions at all. There are still a lot of people who decline flu vaccines. I understand that POV, but I had the flu some 20 years ago and don't think I would risk it again if reasonable precautions were available. I know a pathologist who adamantly refuses to have a flu shot; she recommends a healthy lifestyle, diet, rigorous exercise, etc. I guess a shot is just easier for me! LOL
Anyway, your post prompted me to look up the CDC Influenza Surveillance Report for current outbreak statistics. The reported incidences so far this year are quite low, so you're especially unfortunate. Working under the immense stress of MT can lower one's immunity, for sure.
