Since we're in flu season again, here's a new article that I found interesting.
Quote:
A cardiac surgeon and Professor of Surgery at the University of Washington recommends avoiding the flu shot and taking vitamin D instead. Donald Miller, MD, says “Seventy percent of doctors do not get a flu shot.”
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.
