Just get the shot

Betsy Stein | 10/19/09

I’ve always been a fan of the flu shot. But last year someone sent me this public service announcement from the CDC and I became even more of an advocate. It’s personal stories from families that lost a child because of the flu.

We got our regular flu shots last week. After, we went out to dinner to take the edge off. It was a fun family night out. 

Hopefully, we will be able to do the same thing in a few weeks when the H1N1 vaccine becomes available at our pediatrician’s office. Even if the chances are small that my kids might die from the flu — I’m not taking any chances. I wish you wouldn’t either.
