An ad hoc disagreement on that opinion.
I get the flu vaccine every year in August/September and I have not had the flu in over 30 years.
My wife, a dumbs
t when it comes to vaccines, has had the flu 6 times in that time period ... and I never caught it from her.
I also get a pneumonia vaccine every year and she has had pneumonia twice and I did not get it from her.
I also got the shingles vaccine this year so I'm protected for 5 years ... fairly common for people my age to get it.
I get all vaccines recommended by my doctor and AETNA and
I'm still here and never had any side effects.
