The Flu and the Flu shots. [View all]

I have heard so many different opinions, many of which fly in the face of science.

The vaccine does not cause the flu. True or false.

I concur that trying to make an effective vaccine is trying to hit a moving target.

How is your experience with the flu shot?

Thanks!
