Eh, I'm not sure that's true. The times I've had it, it's basically felt like a cold but with a fever and more severe body aches.

I got the flu back in 2019 and had 104 degree fevers for 5 straight days. Felt absolutely awful and was in the verge of going to the hospital but it finally broke. I have had the flu shot every year after that.

If you get Influenza A and develop natural antibodies(without vaccine), is it true that you could be protected from it for decades, maybe even life?

-multiple people at multiple points in my life in varying states Seems to be the most common sentiment.. at the same time, when you catch the flu and have mild symptoms, you don’t go to the doctor for it so you probably never know you even had it. |

Definitely. Got the flu in 2009 and it was horrible. I've gotten the shot every year since then.

I normally get one, but passed last year because I don’t trust them not to slip COVID crap in it. Will skip again this year.

I had Influenza A back when I was 18. Worst I ever felt beyond chickenpox pneumonia. 104F fever, body aches that just hurt hurt, exhausted. Went to the minor emergency the next day and was given a medication called symmetrel. I think that medication probably saved my life.

Yes, because it's free and harmless. If it works, you never know it. If it doesn't, oh well.

Perform proper hygiene. Wash your hands. Avoid foreign surfaces. Use disinfectant. Quit licking lightpoles and toilets.
These principles will help you avoid colds, the flu, and aids.

I got mine on August 19. Was in a Rite-Aid on a Saturday during an unbusy time and noticed that I could get it done pretty quickly there. I figured the earlier in the season, the better.

Too much antigenic drift in the flu. Plus, flu vaccines are quadrivalent-- two A and two B strains.
