They offer the flu shot for free where I work and I have been getting it for a good 10 years. HOWEVER, this year I think I am going to skip it. Here is why:

I started going to a health and wellness coach about a year ago. I have high blood pressure and am overweight. I started eating healthy and lost about 25 pounds. THEN, the never-ending period from you know where started and I started eating badly again. The weight came back on and I felt pretty miserable all around. I just changed back to the healthy eating habits (I don't want to call it a diet because I want to do it for life) and I feel so much better.

Anyway, the health and wellness coach discourages the flu shot and encourages you to boost your immune system by eating right and taking herbs and vitamins.
