Doctor Recommends Avoiding Flu Shot, Taking Vitamin D Instead : Eco Child’s Play
Assuming the statistics are correct (and they are cited), it does seem a better option to take reasonable amounts of Vitamins such as D to help stave off the flu. Of course it's always wise to take multivitamins and eat a healthy, balanced, nutritious diet. That, along with exercise and making sure to wash your hands before eating, seems to be the best prescription for a flu-free season.
