Two years ago, I came down w/ Influenza A. W/o being dramatic, I’ve never been so sick. Two visits to A clinic n then the hospital. I lost 13 pounds n have not put much weight back on and my system isn’t the same..I get flu shots but as this article points out, these vaccines are made a season ahead of time so it can be a hit or miss. I’ll take the chances as I never want this again. Stay well, my Friends..
