I got a flu shot last week at work. They were free and in my building so I got one. The last flu shot that I got was for the Swine flu so it has been a few years.

In the past, you had to pay for your flu shot even if it was only a couple of dollars. But, with a staff that has been limited by budget cuts, I guess they want to make sure that everyone can work.

Of course, a flu shot doesn’t prevent you from getting the flu, it only prevents you from getting the flu that the shot is geared for. So, if you don’t get the flu, then the shot worked. If you do get the flu, then it was a different flu than what the shot prevents.

Seems like a win-win situation for the medical profession.
