Mgt: If there are no specific reasons not to have the flu vaccination, then I would recommend having the flu vaccination this autumn.

Flu does kill: Over the years we have seen adults, pregnant ladies and kids die of flu.It is so common and so many have only mild to moderate illness that we tend to ignore it or accept that we might get it. We also don't think we will get in a wreck....that works right! I have taken the vaccine yearly since my Navy days and recommend it to anyone.If you don't get it you won't spread it to those you care for.
