It's Not Too Late To Get Your Flu Shot

Just read an article yesterday stating that 136 people have already died of the flu in my home state.  The flu is serious business people and not something to take lightly.  Yes, it is late in the season to get a flu shot, but not too late.  If you haven't received your flu shot yet, go out and do so immediately.  The flu season will run through March and the protection from the shot now could save you a few awful days later in March and potentially save your life.  

The flu can kill you.  Typically it is the very young or very old that succumb to the flu, but young healthy adults die from the flu too.  It's not something to mess around with.  Getting the flu shot is quick, easy, and if your insurance doesn't cover it, typically low in cost.  Much lower in cost than a trip to the doctor or ER when you have the flu.

If I haven't made it clear yet, go out and get your flu shot!  Even in years in which the flu shot is not as effective (that's this year), the flu shot still provides some protection and can minimize symptoms if you do get the flu.  This is an easy decision!
