I was a healthy 32 year old last year. Forgot to get my seasonal flu vaccine.

Got the flu. Didn’t fight it off. Developed pneumonia. I was a couple days off hospitalization.

I eat healthy, I run ultras, I lift weights. The odds are in my favor for that to not happen. But it did.

Sure wish I had remembered to get vaccinated. I don’t expect me or cgod to change your mind. I hope it gives you some pause, though.

I have never missed a vaccination since that Christmas.

I'm getting my Hep vaccine for work next week.
