PS - that said, I take the annual flu shot and took pneumonia and shingles vaccines...
...my mom has nearly died from pneumonia and the folks I know who had shingles were ultra miserable. I even went back for the improved shingles vaccine when that became available. I know some very tough men who swear the flu knocked them on their asses. One told me he would not stand up when he had it because he was afraid he would faint and hurt himself. This guy played college football and basketball and was a big, tough guy. I try to play it safe and get the vaccines that work.
