I'm back from getting my flu shot. Remember, kids: Flu is no fun . . . and even if you don't care, it's uncool to spread it around, especially to family, friends, and coworkers who suffer from respiratory conditions. Constant, close-range, intensive exposure to the virus erases the good done by others' vaccinations. For instance, Bonnie has asthma, and even if she got the shot, I would be able to infect her if I sat around home with the flu – and then she'd get to spend time on a ventilator in the hospital. So do the right thing and take a moment out to get stabbed. It's worth it (and in most places, it's also free and your boss has to give you time off to go do it).
