FLU SHOTS: Panacea, or Medical Profit?
Anyone who has ever come down with the flu has experienced the miserable feeling of muscle aches, fever, headaches, a runny nose, sore throat, and vomiting, and/or diarrhea. Medical professionals recommend that everyone from six months of age and older have a yearly flu shot. As a student, coming down with the flu can be disastrous because the lack of energy and miserable feelings one experiences will interfere with their schoolwork. When one has the flu also becomes very contagious and spread the flu to many others in their presence.
