Well I haven't had the flu since '74 so I guess I defied the odds.Just an FYI. I used to deliver "flu shots." And was told my the receiving company that most times, the flu shots they receive, aren't for the strain of flu that's going around. Apparently there's different ones. So if you're getting a shot for one, and it's a different kind of flu going around, you're just wasting your time.
I was told to ask my doctor what type of flu is going around. And what type of shot to get. If he "him haws" around with the answers, doesn't give a clear answer, then he's just giving for the money.
Odd, in '72 and '73 I caught the flu both years.
