I just got my flu shot at CVS.

Please, get your flu shots, my fellow DUers.

Some of you may recall that my FIL, an anti-vaxxer, did not get his flu shot last year.
He got the flu shortly before Christmas. It turned into pneumonia, and the virus also attacked his heart.
He died March 23rd of heart failure.

Now, there is the added risk of COVID.
Please, don't gamble with your life!

My chances of getting flu were already low. Now it’s even lower.
