Oh well, you can't fix some ignorance.

I couldn't have said it better ssbledsoe. The flu vaccine in my opinion, is very effective at preventing the flu and is recommended for everyone. A lot of people don't seem to understand that influenza is lethal and causes many deaths around the world each year. A patient doesn't have to have disease X or Y for it to be lethal either. $20 for a flu shot is one of the best investments you can make in your health.
