It’s that time of year again, when people are recommended to get a flu shot. But not me! And it’s not because I don’t believe it works. Even though every year it seems the virus has already mutated to a different version than the one in the vaccine, making it less effective or not at all. And some people seem to get the flu from the flu shot itself.

Still, it make a lot of sense to activate the body’s own defense system by administering a version of a virus that can’t spread but will still stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies to protect itself... just in case you do come into contact with the flu later on.
