Final thoughts on who shouldn’t get the flu shot

A yearly flu vaccine is the ideal way to protect yourself from the flu virus. That said, some people shouldn’t get the flu shot. Suppose you can’t get an influenza vaccine because you have a medical condition that makes getting vaccinated impossible.

In that case, as we mentioned, there are many other steps you can take to stay safe during flu season. A surefire way to keep your immune system in optimal condition is by giving your body enough fluids and vitamin C.

Citrus fruits like oranges, lemon, kiwi, strawberries, and pineapples are packed with a healthy punch of this vitamin. And if all else fails, you can also take a supplement after speaking with your doctor. Our favorite is this Garden of Life Organic Vitamin C from Amazon.

    I have gotten a flu shot every fall for many many years. I had the shot this past Monday. I had never had a reaction until this time. Hours later I started shaking so bad I woke up and I couldn’t stop. It wore off and my arm got hot, really hot, from the shot part of the way down my arm. This was a strange reaction.
