my doc won’t let me leave in the fall unless ive said i have had my flu shot but I also have asthma so it can potentially be A Big Deal if i get the flu. he also makes sure to drill in my head to let him know asap if i think i have the flu so he can toss tamiflu at me immediately

it is a shame that the numbers are so hard to come by and compare, as this comes up now and then and it is always a bit of a puzzler that the us is so big on vaccinations against the flu. my home country does very little of the sort, except when i worked for a us company which kept insisting that we get vaccinated. i ascribed that to a cynical attempt to lower sick leave at the time, but it is apparently just broadly american. universal healthcare vs. not makes it really hard to actually look at any statistics and see anything which is not more directly explainable by that however.

i got the flu two years ago and its was 5 1/2 days of misery, i got a flu shot last year and it wrecked me for 3 days but i did not get the flu gonna get re-vacc'd the 2nd week of october

i get a flu shot every year because the only thing worse than suffering through a bout of the flu is suffering through a bout of the flu whilst also beating yourself up for not getting the shot

Notorious b.s.d. posted:the who recommends vaccination for select groups yeah: http://www.euro.who.int/en/health-topics/communicable-diseases/influenza/vaccination more than most countries in europe do, but less than the general push the us appears to go for. Notorious b.s.d. posted:mortality rates for old people in yurop show the flu season very clearly but that holds in the us as well: ![]() so it still needs some doing straightening out the statistics to see how much it actually helps. your link is extra interesting as my home country is sweden, which only recommends vaccinations to people over 65 (and those of compromised health, nothing for children or even people in healthcare professions), with 2% of the <65 population vaccinated on average any given year, and swedens line on that chart is pretty flat over the year compared to e.g. the us one above.
