So, who is eligible? You. Yes, even if you dread needles. Even if you think you never get sick. The flu doesn’t care about your pride. It’s a viral ninja.
If you’re six months or older and don’t have one of those rare, specific medical reasons to skip it, you’re in the club. The club of people who don’t want to spend a week coughing into their pillow. Sign me up, right?
Talk to your doc if you’re unsure. But odds are, you’re eligible. So go get that shot. Your immune system will thank you. And your coffee date will, too—because I don’t want to hear you coughing over my latte.
