Should you get the flu vaccine?
As a nurse who has had the flu shot for the last four years as part of my nursing obligations, my opinion on the flu shot is that it has become a way to protect ourselves in the 21 St Century against the possiblity of a pandemic that could take many lives.
Is it necessary? Well, if you look at the last time there was a flu pandemic in North America in the 1950’s, you will see that almost half of the population acquired the flu and nearly as many died. This is convincing however, some people are argue that putting a flu vaccine into your body is not natural. However, because we as humans have altered nature in so many ways, we must then adjust to the reprecussions of what it means to get the flu at a time where we are waiting for a pandemic (waiting 11 years now) to hit us, come anytime.
It’s really a personal choice, but for my part, I have already had my flu shot so I can prevent it’s spread, should a pandemic come about.
