Not surefire: Living healthy with a good diet and regular exercise is likely the best way to boost your immune system. Vitamin d3 deficiency may also be associated with immune dysregulation but not necessarily defect. If flu shots do not work for you, which is unusual, be sure not to share drink or food with people and wash your hands often after touching anything in public.
