Sure, but they rarely work. This year's flu isn't included in it.

People commonly think that, but that's not how it works.

The flu shot is a 'best guess' of what will be going around based on what's present at the time they plan the vaccine. If they guess wrong - which they often do - then the flu shot is ineffective. For some people, it's still worth getting because it can lessen symptoms (valuable for the elderly and immune deficient) but most of the time it's garbage.

Yeah I know all that but I thought I read somewhere that this year they got it right. Unless I dreamt it, in which case disregard previous post.

Brown, Holl, and a 2nd for Parayko.

Kapanen for Nurse and Pulju.

You don't have to get a needle, you can request the nasal spray. They give the needle by default because it costs less and I suppose they get to charge for giving you the needle.

They did put H1N1 in there, which is what's going around - but the wrong strain of H1N1. Theoretically, it will help reduce symptoms but won't stop you from getting it. Last years was completely ineffective.

Also, it takes 2 - 3 weeks for the vaccine to be effective (your body needs time to produce the antibodies), so if you get it during the height of the flu season then it's likely to not work.

yeah I think you aren't in the ballpark with Parayko, and maybe not with Nurse either.

For old people, it's completely worth it. For younger, healthy people - usually not. Although it doesn't hurt anything to get it, so a lot of people do it anyway.

both arent proven top pairing d-men.

Edmonton would be intrigued to have the fastest center playing with the fastest winger in the game.
