D - Rhetorical Question

Let's suppose for a moment that there is a lovely young mother of 2 charming children who is diagnosed with the Flu 2 years in a row. Unlike the 2 previous years, would said mother make it a priority to have herself and her angelic offspring vaccinated the following fall? I guess we'll never know - seeing as this is mere fiction.

Sorry about that. We just found out that Brett had the flu, I guess it wasn't a fever virus after all.

Since this is mere fiction...chances are the flu caught by this lovely lady would not have been covered under the flu shot so it would make no difference if she got the shot or not. :) The flu going around now and in the previous year were not covered under the flu shot given!

Will you please remind me in the fall how incredibly horrible the flu season is and lets all go together to get it? Whether it works or not! Oh, Carson's got it and now has pneumonia!

Um, yes!!! We will all get our flu shots every year. I know that some people are worried because they think they can get sick from the shot and some think that it doesn't matter because you can still get a different strain of the flu. But, I say, why not? You have a better chance of not getting it. Last year Wade was the only one in our family who did not get the shot, and guess who got the flu??? That's right. This year, we all got the shot and have been around family that has had the flu and not gotten it. So, anyway, long story short, I think it is definitely a must!!! And that's coming from a nurse!!!
