Get yourself vaccinated for the flu. Get your children & loved ones vaccinated. It's not a guarantee this year or any year that you won't contract the flu, but it reduces the likelihood. It also reduces severity if you do get sick — milder symptoms, speedier recovery, lower risk of more severe complications. Don't believe otherwise.
Tell you friends, neighbors... everyone.

Parents — Get *every* childhood vaccine for your children that was on the schedule BEFORE RFK Jr. started pushing misinformation and disinformation — a.k.a. vaccine skepticism.
Statement from CHOP — Children's Hospital of Philadelphia — the right place to go for guidance.
Pass it on. Everyone should know.

As the NHS crisis grinds on we can take some relief from the news that for the second week running the number of flu cases in English hospitals has fallen... suggesting the programme of vaccination has worked well, and (perhaps) we're getting better at taking precautions.
The cold snap may change that but for now it looks like the NHS is on top of the current flu outbreak - which is good news (so lets savour that!)

I recently turned an anti vaxxer who called the COVID vaccine a clot shot into someone who decided to go and get vaccinated using a very simple argument. Feel free to use it:
1. Vaccines are made by drug companies.
2. Drug companies make most of their money off the elderly as ageing populations require more care.
3. Why would you kill off your customers before they become the most profitable to you?
They've now had all their COVID vaccines.
Ironic too that we were all supposed to be dead by new year's eve.

The FDA wants to overhaul how vaccines are tested, based on unproven claims that COVID shots caused child deaths.
A pediatric cardiologist who studies vaccines says there’s no solid evidence for this, and warns the move could make it harder for people to get safe, reliable vaccines.

US anti-vax stance to blame for continent-wide surge in measles, say experts.
Parts of Canada should take some blame too!
