Back in 80s I had several bouts of the flu. One time I was so sick, I thought I was gonna die. My live in girlfriend at the time was so scared she actually called my parents, my dad came over and got me. I found myself in my old bedroom. My family doctor came over, they did housecalls back then, and was going to have me admitted. I got better, missed almost 2 weeks of work. I got pretty sick a couple other times as well, not as bad as in '83. 13 years later, 1996, I had my 1st flu shot. I've gotten it every year since then and I haven't gotten the flu once. Flu shots are available now in CVS and other stores. Most insurance will pay starting Sept 1st. Go get your flu shot.
