Flu shot: You should wait. Second it is WAY too early to get a flu shot in America. Every year trying to make more and more money, pharmacies are offering the flu shot too early and then selling patients a second dose later in the season to stay protected. It is too early now. Wait.

Prednisone: Prednisone is a corticosteroid. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. It also suppresses the immune system. Prednisone is used as an anti-inflammatory or an immunosuppressant medication. Prednisone treats many different conditions such as allergic disorders, skin conditions, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, or breathing disorders.
