Should all adults get flu shots?
20 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Everyone should get a flu vaccine annually to reduce the risk of influenza, and to help stop the spread of influenza to more susceptible people. The exceptions are children under the age of 6 months, or a documented severe allergic reaction to egg, or recent guillain barre syndrome. The nasal vaccine (eg, flumist) can be given instead of the injection for people 2-49 yrs old who are not pregnant.

Optional: Flu shots are optional so everyone should educate themselves about the pros and cons as they should for any medical treatment.
