[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flu A was all over the schools last year too, at least in FCPS. I’m starting to wonder why we even bother getting the shots every year. [/quote]

I'll tell you why the flu vaccine helps. My family did get their flu vaccines back in Oct. ('25). My sister's family did not. Sister's family came to celebrate Christmas with us and one almost immediately came down sick with the flu A. We know this from testing at the pedestrians after the first got sick.

Soon all 4 of 5 of my sister's family were sick and within some days 3 of my 4 were sick. Without a doubt, my sister's non-flu-vaccinated family was WAY sicker for longer than my vaccinated family. To be clear, me and my kids were still feeling pretty crappy but it was NOTHING like what we saw my sister and her family go through. They were a complete mess and could not even drive the 4 hours home.

Just one anecdote but you cannot convince me that the flu vaccine, even one that was not a good match, didn't help greatly.[/quote]
