Antonio Brown Did Not Practice Friday- (Illness)

Flu shots don't really work, forget about that. Virus strains mutate long before vaccines can match them

You have a better chance of getting sick just by being in a doctors waiting room full of sick people while waiting to get your shot,
 
I caught the "Bangkok Flu" - in Oklahoma,.not Thailand - during a really bad epidemic in 1981. I hadn't gotten a flu shot ahead of time.

Gotten one every year since and, knock on needle (ouch), no more flu.

It's much, much more common to get sick after not being immunized than having been.
 
I told you we should have put Ben in the bubble boy tent, I hope it doesn't spread
 
Years ago I got into the elevator where I worked and a sign was posted that read: "Be sure to get your flu shot today."

Next line: "Stop by Dr. Kevorkian's office by 5."

Gross, but good (and well-formed) point.

Any kind of issue in that region is often referred to as the flu.

(Yes, I know it's supposed by "flu" and not "the flu."..And my 6th grade teacher tried to convince us that it's "Warshington" and not "Washington.")
 
A Flu shot doesn't cover every strain, and they are what about 50% effective.

Z23 is the code when you get one for reimbursement!
 
I've never had a flu shot. And I haven't had the flu in 32 years.

When you are younger your body fights off everything much easier.

But your body is constantly changing.

Like Ozzy says, I'm goingggggggggggggggggggggg through changesssssssssss.

Once you start having any type of ailments you might want to bite that flu protection.

 
I only get shots if they are a vaccine or 100% effective. Cold shots and flu shots are crap shoots. Unless you have a compromised immune system, it's not worth it.

I'll take my chances. Everyone dies. If it's my time then it's my time.
 
I never get the shot.

This year I got it. Two weeks missed work. It was brutal.
