Annual Reminder

It's time again for my annual reminder, for those without medical contraindications, to get their flu shot.

If you cannot afford one, you can google "free flu shots" and you'll likely find them offered in your area.

Please, please, please get one yourself (if you've no contraindications) and encourage everyone you know to do the same if they are able.
