I agree with getting the flu shot. I have gotten the shot every year for the last 4 years(Employer pays for it . I myself have not gotten the flu since. Sure, I get the common chest cold every now and again, but that is it.
I dont eat healthy (eat when you can between calls= fast food), don’t get the right amount of sleep (work 24-48 hour shifts), and am around sick people quite a bit.
The only thing I do to help with avoiding germs is wash my hands a lot.
I think with the warm weather this year, bugs are staying active longer.
