My experience is that Do Not take flu shots. There are hundreds varieties of flu and the flu shot can only protect you two or three types of flu. So what is the purpose of taking flu shots? Many of my healthy friends got flu immediately after the shots. The so called protection is actually not worth the gamble. By all means, DO NOT take flu shots.

The medical doctors, most of them, are robots. They listen and follow the orders from above. Many years ago, all doctors recommended hormone treatment for "protecting" the osteoporosis from hurting older women. Many of us here are victims of their recommendations.
