A lot of the other kids in my school are doing it, so I thought I would too.

What are the replies of those 'other kids', to your questions?

That's not the best reason to do something . . . really . . . trust me on this.

No, he wants the flu to be shot! Learn to read, man!

I guess he's afraid there's a fine or something if you shoot it outside flu hunting season.

They're getting really bad around here about that.

Three guys were locked up for a month for shooting flues out of season.

Before the start of the winter season when this years flu signatures are in the latest vaccine.

Generally the vaccines are developed based on what happened in the winter countries in the other half of the hemisphere so the latest will be available in Autumn.

Your Doctor medical centre will know when they get the latest and should be able to inform you when it arrives.

It depends on when "flu season" is expected in your area. For North America, that's typically winter-ish. From the CDC website[^]:

Quote:
Flu vaccination should begin soon after vaccine becomes available, if possible by October. However, as long as flu viruses are circulating, vaccination should continue to be offered throughout the flu season, even in January or later.

Well that makes sense, ask the CDC. Good brain in your head.

How dare you! I was sober for the weekend so I could drive the 1,000 miles home.

Friday we packed the car and went for an early dinner with a glass [on this case an honest, single glass; all be it large] of wine. Saturday was a quick 900 miles across Europe with a welcome brace of beers on stopping for the night. Yesterday we crossed the migrant infested Channel and, after unloading, the very pooped Vilmos went to bed early. Sober.

If you need it, before flu season. It would be recommended for everyone with a weak(er) immune-system.

C-P-User-3 wrote:

My doc.

I get an invitation each year but never accept it. My immune-system may be weaker than the average, it can handle flu without aid - helping it out when it does not need it does not sound like a good idea to me.

I believe that I did not get one last year, and I was knocked out for weeks; at least two, and I think three; maybe a full month.

No intention of a repeat !

Sorry, but that sounds like a very lazy immune-system.

Go find some germs to train it.

The germs here aren't like the germs there. These germs work out at the gym and watch training videos.

..in that case, lower your bar; try to pre-train your immune system with stuff that is not dangerous, like spicy food and fermented drinks Smile | :)
