Actively Immunized I am I am

FluMan 

Yep. I got it. I got a dead virus injected into my upper arm today.

I cannot tell you when I started getting the flu shot. All I know is I get it every year. I’m not one to be superstitious, but I’m superstitious about the flu shot.

Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I have subliminally convinced myself that the flu shot ‘helps’. Heck.. maybe I’m delusional.

All I know is, that ever since I started getting the flu shot my winters are less miserable. My ‘flu season’ is not littered with empty boxes of Kleenex, baggy-eyed, and foggy headed misery.

If I do get ‘sick’, if I do get ‘the flu’, it is short-lived and not nearly as painful.

For some the flu shot doesn’t work…

For some the flu shot actually makes you sick…

All I know is I rather partake in an activity that may lessen my chances of misery than none at all.

Just sayin’.
