You know, I don't normally get flu shots, but I'm thinking of getting one this year. (Well, two, apparently.)
I think this is one of those situations where you should go out of the way to take special precautions. It could get really nasty, and I'm willing to take what I can get to protect myself.
This isn't just any other year for the flu.
