In reply to the discussion: Who here has had the flu this season? [View all]laundry_queen
(8,646 posts)Everyone at my work has had the flu. They clearly had the flu and not just a cold. The one person in the cubicle next to me missed a few days and is now on antibiotics because she ended up with bronchitis from it. I'm really nervous about getting it, even though I've had my flu shot this year, because this year's shot is not supposed to be a good match for the circulating strain. So far so good, but you never know. I've been washing my hands like crazy too. When I catch the flu, I usually end up with bronchitis or pneumonia, so I always get nervous during flu season. I'm still trying to convince aforementioned coworker to get her flu shot. She believes the last time she had the flu shot it made her sick. I tried to explain to her why that is not the case, but I'm not sure if I got through.
