From Dr. Katelyn Jetelina on the Bird (i hate that place SO MUCH ugh)
Flu data out today.
I quote: "Holy crap."
Medical people in the comments are BEGGING YOU to get a flu shot. They say it's been shown to be 48% effective in the Southern Hemisphere.
@artisanrox my appt is in 45 minutes, no kidding. I’m also getting my second shingles shot. I’ve never gotten the flu shot before but I feel like it’s a good idea this time. Look for me to be posting kinda cranky the next couple of days as I recover.
@Cosmichomicide @FreyaMeansLady Yeah, I heard the shingles shot is yikes.
But, it's definitely better than getting shingles 😬
@Cosmichomicide @artisanrox Oh my dog! I barely felt the flu shot, but I totally felt the shingles shot. It feels like she hit me in the arm with a baseball bat even though she did a really good job. Yes I had shingles when I turned 30 and it turned into blood poisoning and nearly killed me. I had no problem doing this. I’m not into nerve pain if I can avoid it. OUCH BTW 😣
@artisanrox @FreyaMeansLady Absolutely!
