  *Just a concerned health message*  to all you Veterans out there

If your over 50 you may want to think long and hard  about getting your flu shot soon  or even if your under 50.

It may not keep you from getting the flu but it will help  not to get so bad if it turns into pneumonia.

A Dr. once mention to me that it takes about 7/to 8 weeks to become effective  this is why we need to get the injection early before the cold wet winter weather shows up.

I Got mine on Oct 22nd 2020.

If you already received your flu shot  ....> then way to go.

Got mine 2 weeks ago. You should have a heads up though. If you are 65+ and get the booster shot. It is in short supply again this year so call ahead and be sure they have the correct dosage. With this Covid19 going on, if you have to get serious care for the regular flu, there may be a shortage of hospital beds when you contact it. And you sure don't want to be hospitalized with a regular flu and be exposed to others with Covid. Get your flu shot folks!
